Polestar Reduces Electricity Bills for Its Customers

Thanks to the integrated smart charging, Polestar reduces the cost of charging electric vehicles for its customers.

The Swedish manufacturer Polestar is strengthening its energy strategy in Europe with a major evolution of its Polestar Energy offering. The goal is to reduce the cost of home charging for electric vehicles while actively participating in the stability of the European electricity grid.

Launched at the end of 2024 and then extended to 12 markets in 2025, Polestar Energy already offered smart charging and integration with home solar panels. In 2026, the offering will be enhanced with additional benefits in France and Germany thanks to a partnership with Octopus Energy. According to the manufacturer, drivers who subscribe to an Intelligent Octopus contract and activate smart charging can save up to 60% on their home charging sessions.

Polestar knows how to make itself desirable

In France, the annual savings could thus reach €250 to €300, a significant bonus to reduce the total cost of ownership of an electric vehicle. In a context of high electricity prices, this tariff optimization becomes a selling point like any other… perhaps even better than others!

Another strategic advancement: smart charging is now directly controlled by the car, without the need for a specific home charging station. The Polestar 2 and Polestar 4 automatically manage charging times through the Polestar Energy app, based on electricity prices, household demand, and grid constraints.
