Polestar is enhancing the charging experience for its customers by introducing the Plug & Charge feature for the Polestar 3, its flagship SUV. This new functionality, integrated into the Polestar Charge App, simplifies the public charging process, making it more user-friendly than ever.
With Plug & Charge, the Polestar 3 acts like a digital wallet, allowing the vehicle to authenticate the user and communicate directly with compatible public chargers. This seamless integration eliminates the usual steps involved in initiating a charging session. After arriving at a charging station, customers can simply plug in their vehicle and enjoy an automated charging experience without needing to manually select a charging location or confirm payment details.
Lutz Stiegler, CTO of Polestar, expressed enthusiasm for this innovative service, stating, “With Plug & Charge, we offer a premium service to Polestar 3 customers that makes charging their car on the road as easy and hassle-free as possible.” He emphasized that this technology will significantly improve daily life for drivers.
Currently available at over 9,500 High Power Charging points, including selected Ionity and Mer locations, Plug & Charge enables Polestar 3 drivers to streamline their charging process. To activate this feature, drivers simply need to adjust their vehicle’s charging settings and connect to the Polestar Charge App or any E-mobility Service Provider. The Polestar Charge App further enhances the experience by providing access to over 800,000 public charging points across Europe, along with subscription-based fast charging options at discounted rates.
The Plug & Charge feature is now live for Polestar 3, with plans to extend this functionality to other Polestar models by 2025, solidifying Polestar’s commitment to making electric vehicle ownership as convenient and efficient as possible.
