Polestar launches new fast-charging tariffs
Polestar is expanding its public charging offering in Europe with two new subscription tiers. With 'Plus' and 'Pro', customers receive discounts at selected fast-charging networks for a monthly fee.

Both tariffs target drivers who regularly use public fast-charging stations and want to benefit from discounted rates. The new Plus tariff costs €7.99 per month in Germany and offers a 15 per cent discount at EnBW, Shell Recharge, Vattenfall, Mer, and Fastned. With the Pro tariff, priced at €14.99 per month, the discount increases to 30 per cent. 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 points, according to Polestar, while Pro customers can use more than 118,000. Compared to the previous subscription, this represents an increase of 26 and 43 per cent, respectively.
In Germany, too, the number of discounted charging points is increasing. Plus users can access more than 14,000 charging points, while Pro customers have access to more than 17,000. Polestar states that this represents an increase of 32 and 64 per cent, respectively, compared to the previous offering.
Regardless of the tariff, Polestar Charge now includes access to more than 1.25 million public charging points across Europe, including the Tesla Supercharger network. Access is via a Polestar account using the app or a charging card. For compatible vehicles, Plug & Charge is also supported. Polestar Charge was launched in 2024 together with Plugsurfing and initially provided access to more than 650,000 public charging points in Europe. Even at the start, open Tesla Superchargers were integrated; with the expansion to now more than 1.25 million charging points, the reach of the roaming offering has nearly doubled since then.
The new tariff structure also aligns with Plugsurfing’s latest strategy. The company had announced in spring that it would focus more on subscription models with discounted charging across multiple CPOs. Direct connections to charging point operators are intended to enable better economic conditions and individually configurable offers for OEM partners.
Polestar Charge grows 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 programme. In Google Maps, charging points in the network can also be specifically incorporated into route planning.
Whether Plus or Pro is worthwhile depends primarily on individual charging behaviour. Plus is aimed at occasional fast charging, while Pro is more suitable for drivers with regular fast-charging needs. The higher monthly fee must accordingly pay off through the use of the participating networks.
Polestar also points to increasing usage of the service. Between June and August 2026, the company recorded 161,000 charging sessions via Polestar Charge, according to its own figures.
The expansion of the charging offering comes at a time when Polestar needs to strengthen its customer proposition. In the first half of 2026, global sales stagnated, and the company lowered its growth forecast for the full year to a low to mid-single-digit percentage range.
