Polestar has introduced the Polestar Energy app, a smart charging solution designed to save EV owners money, simplify charging schedules, and support the energy grid—all while rewarding users for their contributions.
Available in multiple European markets, including the UK and the Netherlands, the app promises to streamline home charging and reduce costs by up to 30% annually.

Smarter Charging Made Easy
The app eliminates the hassle of determining optimal charging times. Users simply connect their Polestar vehicle, compatible home charger, and electricity plan, set a required charge level, and let the app handle the rest.
By leveraging dynamic electricity tariffs, it ensures charging happens during off-peak hours, when costs and demand are lower. This approach can save users up to 300 EUR per year, with accrued savings or credits viewable through a virtual wallet in the app.
Advanced Features for Polestar 3 Owners
Later this year, Polestar 3 customers will gain access to bi-directional charging, enabling their vehicles to discharge energy back to their homes or the grid. This feature supports vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and vehicle-to-home (V2H) functionality, turning EVs into mobile energy storage units.
As energy providers begin rewarding users for contributing to grid stability, Polestar owners can see additional benefits reflected in their app or electricity bills.
Sustainability at its Core
The app also prioritizes environmental sustainability by aligning charging times with periods of lower grid demand and higher renewable energy availability.
It integrates with domestic solar systems, enabling users to power their Polestars with greener energy. This aligns with Polestar’s mission to deliver an eco-friendly and efficient EV experience.
Seamless Integration with Stylish Solutions
Polestar has partnered with Zaptec, offering European customers a sleek EV wallbox that pairs perfectly with the app’s ecosystem. Polestar aims to expand this compatibility to include more wallbox and energy providers, creating an open ecosystem that balances simplicity with functionality.
Effortless Savings and Comfort
The app ensures that Polestar owners always wake up to a fully charged, pre-conditioned car at the lowest possible cost. For Polestar 3 users, parked vehicles can even generate income by feeding energy back to the grid.
As Polestar continues to roll out the app to new markets, it’s redefining the EV ownership experience—making it smarter, more cost-effective, and environmentally conscious.
