Public charging
Polestar cars use the Type 2 standard connector and can be charged at most charging stations. This includes networks such as Evie, Jolt, Chargefox and more.

You can charge your Polestar at almost any public charging station. As more and more people switch to EVs, the number of charging points is increasing rapidly. Currently, in Australia, public charging locations vary from from freeway service areas to local council car parks, shopping centres and everything in between.
Chargers on the road differ from those at the destination. En route, most charging stations offer fast DC chargers capable of charging a battery up to 80% in around half an hour. Hotels, holiday parks, conference centres and other locations tend to provide slower AC chargers, more suitable for a longer parking period.

Google Maps is the route planner of choice. Just enter a destination, and it will display charging points along the way, optimised for getting to your destination as fast as possible. The integrated version that comes standard with your Polestar checks the battery level and plans the route and charging stops accordingly.
It's a good idea to plan ahead and check charging options on your chosen route. Google Maps’ send-to-car feature allows users to pre-plan trips and find nearby charging stations on their mobile devices. Routes can be transferred instantly to the car, making sure road trips get off to a smooth start.

As more and more people are switching to EVs, the number of charging points is growing rapidly. The Australian Government has also committed to expanding the network of public chargers, rapidly improving the currently available infastructure across freeways, service stations and other locations.

On long trips, time can be saved by stopping twice and charging to 80% each time, rather than stopping once and charging to full. This is because the final 20% capacity of a lithium-ion battery charges at a much slower rate.
