Polestar, the Swedish electric performance car brand, and Zaptec, a pioneer in home charging technology, announce a pan-European commercial and technological collaboration agreement.
This strategic partnership marks a significant step towards strengthening the electric mobility infrastructure in Europe.
As part of the agreement, Zaptec’s renowned home charger, Zaptec Go, will be highlighted as the recommended home charger on polestar.com and in Polestar Spaces – all across Europe.
This ensures customers a reliable, premium charging solution within Polestar’s extensive ecosystem.
Lutz Stiegler, Polestar CTO, says: “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,” he adds.
From today, the Zaptec Go charging unit will begin rolling out to Polestar customers in selected European markets, with availability in additional markets to be announced soon.
Kurt Østrem, Zaptec’s CEO, states: “We’re genuinely proud of this collaboration. Given Zaptec’s high regard for quality and safety, it’s only fitting to partner with those who share and understand our values.”
“Entering into this partnership, we’re embarking on an incredibly exciting journey in Europe, particularly with our vehicle-to-grid technology,” he adds.
