Electric power functions in the Polestar 1 app
The Polestar 1 app contains functions that can e.g. show battery and charging status or can help you find the nearest charging station.
Battery and charge 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 charging or Fuel range.
The following information can be found here:
- Battery level: The status of the high voltage battery is displayed graphically.
- Range (miles): Estimate of how far you can drive on the battery alone.
- Charge status: Indicates whether the charging cable is connected or not.
- Vehicle's location.
My charging locations
The Polestar 1 app helps you find the nearest charging station and allows you to save eight charging locations in a favorites list. You can also make the following settings for each charging location:
- Add a reminder about charging if you stop at a charging location in your favorites list without charging.
- Message when charging is interrupted, e.g. due to power outage.
Settings for my charging locations
To create unique settings for your favorite charging locations:
Go to the home tab.
Select Battery charging or Fuel range.
Select a charging location (or add a new one).
You can define settings for your charging stations here by enabling or disabling charging reminders.
Preconditioning
You can control the vehicle's air conditioning from the app and cool or heat the passenger compartment to the desired temperature. To cool down your vehicle it needs to be plugged in.
To set preconditioning:
Go to the home tab.
Select Parking heater/Parking climate.
Program Timer 1 and Timer 2 by selecting the time you want Preconditioning to be complete.
The vehicle heats up or cools down the passenger compartment to achieve the desired indoor temperature. The desired temperature is the current setting you made for your climate system.
You can also control the climate with instant actions from the app. Tap Start or Stop under Parking heater/Parking climate. These commands cancel any set timers.
