The new public charging service launched by Polestar and Plugsurfing in Europe is called Polestar Charge. With over 650,000 compatible charging stations for electric cars, Polestar Charge offers Polestar drivers access to the largest charging networks in Europe, including the Tesla Supercharger, IONITY, Recharge, Total, Fastned and Allego network, in one single top-up service.
An optional monthly subscription allows Polestar Charge users to enjoy a 30% discount on over 28,000 charging points.
Polestar is the first in Europe to integrate the Tesla Supercharger network into its Polestar Charge charging app.
The initiative was preceded by Polestar's announcement that it will adopt Tesla's Nacs charging standard for Polestar drivers in North America in 2023. Additionally, in China, Polestar owners can access Tesla's Supercharger network in over 200 cities, further increasing access to distributors.
Since 2020, Polestar 2 drivers in Europe have had access to public chargers from the Plugsurfing network and special discounts on fares. The new Polestar Charge service arrives ahead of deliveries to European customers of Polestar 3 and Polestar 4, two new high-performance luxury electric SUVs.
"We know that an important issue for those who own an electric car - said Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of Polestar - is the possibility of charging it conveniently. Thanks to access to the most extensive networks in Europe and intelligent integration into Google Maps, We've made it easier for Polestar drivers to enjoy life with an electric car rather than worry about where to find the next charge."
