Polestar 2's 68-hp performance upgrade priced at $1,195

Polestar has a power upgrade for the Polestar 2, and it requires a one-time payment rather than a subscription.

Among the updates was an available power upgrade for the Long Range Dual Motor grade, which ups output by 68 hp and 15 lb-ft of torque, bringing the new totals to 476 hp and 502 lb-ft.

Polestar on Tuesday announced the power upgrade, installed via an over-the-air update, will cost $1,195, which brings the total price of a Polestar 2 with the upgrade to $54,495, including a $1,400 destination charge. The Swedish performance marque also said the cost is a one-time payment, as a opposed to a “hassle” like a subscription—a dig at Mercedes-Benz's recent decision to offer a power boost on some of its EVsThe extra horsepower means the Polestar 2 will reach 60 mph from rest in 4.

For buyers seeking more performance in their Polestar 2, the compact electric hatch can also be fitted with a Performance Pack that adds key chassis mods like Ohlins dampers and upgraded wheels, tires and brakes. The Performance Pack costs $5,500.
