Polestar has restructured its Polestar Charge subscription in Europe. A new entry-level Plus tier cuts fast-charging prices by 15% for €7.99 (about $9.00) a month, and a Pro tier cuts them by 30% for €14.99 (about $16.87) a month. According to Polestar, the service now reaches more than 1.25 million public charging points across Europe. The Swedish automaker outlined the changes late last week.
Highlights
- Plus tier: 15% off fast charging at five selected networks per market for €7.99 (about $9.00) per month.
- Pro tier: 30% off fast charging at seven selected networks per market, including Ionity, for €14.99 (about $16.87) per month.
- Discounted points: More than 104,000 with Plus and more than 118,000 with Pro, which the company says are increases of 26% and 43% over the previous subscription tier.
- Usage: Polestar drivers logged 161,000 charging sessions from June through August 2026, a record according to the company.
How Do the Polestar Charge Subscription Tiers Compare?
Customers can choose the standard non-subscription tier or one of the two new Plus and Pro subscriptions. The subscriptions discount the regular price of fast charging in exchange for a monthly fee. Polestar positions Plus for drivers who fast charge occasionally and Pro for those who fast charge frequently.
| Tier | Monthly Fee | Fast-Charging Discount | Discounted Networks per Market | Discounted Charging Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | None | None (regular price) | — | — |
| Plus | €7.99 (about $9.00) | 15% | 5 | 104,000+ |
| Pro | €14.99 (about $16.87) | 30% | 7, including Ionity | 118,000+ |
The company says subscribers start seeing savings after their first full charge.
Network Access for All Users
Every tier gets the same access to the full network of more than 1.25 million charging points, including the Tesla Supercharger network. The subscription tiers determine only where discounts apply.
Olivier Loedel, Head of Product Software Management at Polestar, said: “Polestar Charge provides users with one of Europe’s largest and most convenient charging ecosystems. Now, thanks to this expanded offer, we make it even more affordable for customers to benefit from savings on fast charging through subscription options that suit their needs and driving habits.”
What Polestar Charge Includes
Polestar Charge comes with the purchase of a Polestar, including vehicles bought through the company’s pre-owned program. Drivers use one account to charge through the app or a charging card. Features include:
- Plug & Charge: automatic charging authorization for compatible vehicles.
- Google Maps route filtering: drivers can filter for charging points included in the Polestar Charge network when planning routes.
Usage and Market Context
The company reports record use this summer, with 161,000 charging sessions by Polestar drivers between June and August 2026. Polestar CEO Michael Lohscheller tied the expansion to European EV adoption, citing ACEA data on new car sales in the European Union.
“The transition to EVs is accelerating to more than 20% of new car sales in the European Union during the first half of 2026. With Polestar Charge, we make sure our drivers have convenient access to public charging, affordable charging discounts, and we turn range anxiety into a thing of the past,” Lohscheller said.
