Polestar Energy, a cutting-edge initiative by Polestar, has expanded its reach to 11 markets with plans for further growth in 2025. Belgium and Switzerland join countries like the UK and the Netherlands, offering a full suite of services, while Sweden, Norway, and several other European nations enjoy features like smart charging and solar options, with grid rewards to be introduced later. This program aims to optimize the home-charging experience, enabling customers to save up to 30% on costs and earn up to €300 annually through grid rewards. Polestar Energy complements Polestar Charge, which boasts over 875,000 charging points across Europe and extensive Tesla Supercharger access in North America.
The core innovation of Polestar Energy lies in its smart charging capabilities, managed via the dedicated Polestar Energy app. This technology ensures that cars are charged during off-peak hours, reducing energy expenses and supporting grid stability. As a result, users benefit not only from lower costs but also from reduced CO2 emissions due to higher renewable energy use during low-demand periods. This initiative underscores Polestar’s commitment to sustainability and cost-efficiency, creating a more appealing ownership experience for EV customers.
Looking ahead, Polestar plans to introduce bi-directional charging capabilities in late 2025, initially available with Polestar 3. This feature will allow vehicles to function as energy storage units, providing power back to the grid or to homes, further enhancing energy efficiency and resilience. With options like the Zaptec wallbox for home installation, Polestar Energy positions itself as a leader in advancing sustainable and practical EV solutions, setting a high standard in the premium electric vehicle market.
