Polestar expands charging network to 1.25 million points and launches tiered subscription model
Polestar has expanded its Polestar Charge solution to more than 1.25 million public charging points across Europe and introduced a new two tier subscription structure. The Plus tier offers a 15% discount on fast charging at five networks per market for £6.99 per month, while the Pro tier provides a 30% discount at seven networks, including Ionity, for £12.99 per month. The service, included with new and pre-owned Polestar purchases, integrates Plug and Charge and Google Maps route planning.
Why it matters
The tiered pricing model signals a shift towards segmented driver value propositions in OEM charging programmes, potentially influencing how CPOs structure commercial partnerships and discount frameworks. Access to 1.25 million points positions Polestar as a significant roaming aggregator, creating competitive pressure on standalone charging apps and network operators.
