Polestar has signed a commercial and technical partnership with home-charger provider Zaptec to offer premium home-charging solutions to its customers in Europe, the company announced June 4.
The premium electric-car maker said that Zaptec Go, the home-charging wallbox, will begin rolling out to customers in select European markets with immediate effect, with availability in other markets to be announced in due course.
The collaboration between the two companies also includes a long-term strategic partnership on future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and bidirectional charging solutions, which are seen as important steps in enabling electric vehicles to balance the electric grid.
The offer on Zaptec Go will be available to Polestar customers in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway with immediate effect, and includes installation and local customer support. The home-charging solution delivers up to 22-kW charging capacity, supporting a fast and reliable EV charging experience at home.
Commenting on the new product offering, Lutz Stiegler, Polestar's chief technology officer, said, “The partnership with Zaptec marks an important step in providing our European customers with seamless and effective home charging solutions ahead of the first deliveries of the two electric performance SUVs Polestar 3 and Polestar 4. Together with Zaptec we will also continue developments on innovative charging tech to deliver features like smart charging, bidirectional charging and vehicle-to-grid to our customers in the future.”
The Zaptec Go wallbox will be compatible with all Polestar cars, including the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4, for which the first European customer deliveries are expected this summer.
