If you own a Polestar EV, there’s a big announcement for you: Polestar EVs can now tap into the Tesla Supercharger network. That’s right! No matter the model you have with Polestar, you can officially start using Tesla’s supercharger network.
Polestar has announced that its EV owners can order a NACS adapter from their local service point:
Future Polestar products will adopt the NACS inlet as standard equipment. Owners of existing Polestar products can order a NACS adapter through their local Polestar Service Point today with deliveries planned for mid-November. In addition, Polestar’s in-car Google Maps will be updated to show all available NACS chargers.
Tesla owners, you can expect to see some Polestar EVs at Supercharger stations across North America.
Polestar joins other EV manufacturers, such as Ford, GM, and Rivian, that have failed official access to the Supercharger network that Tesla opened up to everyone. In order to use the superchargers, EV manufacturers need to adopt its NACS connector. Tesla shared this standard with everyone and many new EVs coming in the near future and beyond will share this standard by default.
For right now, current Polestar EV owners will need to get a NACS adapter to use Telsa’s Supercharger network.
Our Take
Honestly, this is amazing news, but not surprising. Many other EV manufacturers have already adopted Tesla’s NACS adapter to tap into its ever-growing Supercharger infrastructure. Tesla is miles ahead of everyone right now, so if you can’t beat them, join them, right? This is a great move for Polestar owners.
