Norwegian electric vehicle (EV) charging company Zaptec and vehicle manufacturer Polestar are extending their cooperation in a new two-year partnership agreement.

The deal will see the two companies continuing to bring smart, high-quality EV charging to Polestar customers, including in additional new markets.

Over the past two years, Zaptec chargers have supported Polestar owners across Polestar’s European markets.

With the new agreement, the partnership will continue in existing markets and expand into new markets, such as the Baltics, as well as outside of Europe. 

Zaptec and Polestar also said they would continue their strategic collaboration on future solutions for bi-directional charging and vehicle-to-grid (V2G), exploring how electric vehicles can support the wider energy system in the future.

Kurt Østrem, CEO, Zaptec, said:

“Renewing our cooperation with Polestar and expanding its geographical footprint, is a strong signal of what the two companies have built together over the past two years. Polestar owners expect the driving experience to be matched by the charging experience, and that is exactly what we are here to deliver.”

Olivier Loedel, Head of Software Product Management, Polestar, said:

“The continued partnership with Zaptec is an important enabler for providing a smart and high-quality home charging solution to our customers, both now and in the future, as electric vehicles become a more connected part of the wider energy ecosystem.”
