Electric operation functions in the Polestar 1 app
The Polestar 1 app includes functions that show battery and charging status or can help you to find your nearest charging station, for instance.
Battery and charging status
To view current battery level and get an estimate of how long you can drive on the existing charge:
Go to the Home tab.
Select Battery charge or Fuel range.
You will find the following information here:
- Battery level: The status of the high voltage battery is shown in a graph.
- Range (km): An estimate of how far you will get if you drive on battery power alone.
- Charging status: Shows whether or not the charging cable is connected.
- Position of the car.
My charging stations
The Polestar 1 app can help you to find the nearest charging station and gives you the option of saving eight charging stations in a favourites list. You can also make the following settings for each charging station:
- Add a reminder about charging if you stop at a charging station in your favourites list without charging.
- Schedule charging (start and end time).
- Message if charging is discontinued due to a power failure, for example.
Settings for my charging stations
To create unique settings for your favourite charging stations:
Go to the Home tab.
Select Battery charge or Fuel range.
Select a charging station (or add a new one).
You can define settings for your charging stations here by enabling/disabling charging reminders and scheduling charging.
Preconditioning
You can control the car’s air conditioning from the app and cool or heat the compartment to the required temperature. Your car needs to be plugged in for you to cool it down.
To set preconditioning:
Go to the Home tab.
Select Parking heater/Parking climate.
Program Timer 1 and Timer 2 by selecting the time by which you want preconditioning to be complete.
The car will warm up or cool down the passenger compartment in order to reach the required inner temperature. The required temperature is the current setting you defined for your climate control system.
You can also control the climate with instant actions from the app. Press Start or Stop under Parking heater/Parking climate. These commands will interrupt any set timers.
