Polestar Energy makes home charging efficient and cheaper

Polestar Energy - the Swedish all-electric performance brand’s innovative new energy initiative - is now fully live in the U.K. after a successful pilot, offering customers smarter, more efficient and cheaper home charging.

With the Polestar Energy app, customers decide when they want to use their car and desired charging level, with smart charging taking care of the rest by charging when it makes sense for the grid. This results in lower energy costs when customers receive their electricity bill.

For Polestar drivers in the U.K., Polestar Energy integrates smart charging with a Zaptec home charger and Intelligent Octopus Go energy tariff, minimising total cost of ownership. In addition, there is also a reduction in CO₂ in the usage phase of the car, as at times of lower grid demand the renewable energy mix is often higher, which is more sustainable for the environment.

Later in 2025, Bi-directional charging with vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-home capabilities, first targeted on the Polestar 3, will allow customers to use their vehicle as energy storage, sending back excess energy to the grid or even power their home.
