Polestar expands its charging offerings with a cheaper fast charging rate
Polestar is expanding its public charging offerings in Europe with two new subscription tiers. With “Plus” and “Pro,” customers can receive discounts at selected fast charging networks for a monthly fee.

Both plans are aimed at drivers who charge publicly frequently and want to take advantage of discounted prices. The new Plus plan costs 7.99 euros per month in Germany and offers a 15 percent discount at EnBW, Shell Recharge, Vattenfall, Mer, and Fastned. With the Pro plan at 14.99 euros per month, the discount increases to 30 percent. In addition to the Plus networks, Ionity and Allego are also included.
Across Europe, Plus customers have access to more than 104,000 discounted charging stations according to Polestar, while Pro customers have access to more than 118,000. This represents an increase of 26 percent and 43 percent respectively compared to the previous subscription plans.
In Germany as well, the number of discounted charging stations is increasing. Plus users will have access to over 14,000 charging stations, while Pro customers can use more than 17,000. Polestar estimates that this represents a 32 percent increase for Plus users and a 64 percent increase for Pro customers compared to the previous offerings.
Regardless of the chosen plan, Polestar Charge now includes over 1.25 million public charging stations across Europe, including Tesla’s Supercharger network. Access is provided through a Polestar account via app or charging card. Plug & Charge is also supported on compatible vehicles.
Polestar Charge was launched in 2024 alongside Plugsurfing, offering access to over 650,000 public charging points in Europe at the time. Tesla Superchargers were already included from the start; with the network expanding to more than 1.25 million charging points now, the coverage of this roaming service has nearly doubled.
The new pricing structure aligns with Plugsurfing’s recent strategy. The company announced in spring that it would focus more on subscription models providing discounted charging across multiple CPOs. Direct connections to charging point operators are intended to enable better financial terms and individually customizable offerings for OEM partners.
Polestar Charge Expands to Over 1.25 Million Charging Points
Polestar Charge is included with the purchase of a new Polestar, as well as with vehicles from the used car program. In Google Maps, charging stations in the network can also be specifically included in route planning.
Whether Plus or Pro is worth it depends mainly on individual charging habits. Plus is aimed at occasional fast charging, while Pro is more suitable for drivers with regular fast charging needs. The higher monthly fee must therefore be offset by the use of the participating networks.
Polestar also notes an increasing usage of the service. Between June and August 2026, the company reported 161,000 charging sessions via Polestar Charge according to its own figures.
The expansion of charging infrastructure comes at a time when Polestar needs to strengthen its customer offerings. In the first half of 2026, global sales remained almost stagnant, and the company reduced its full-year growth forecast to a low to mid-single digit percentage range.
