Owners of the Polestar 2 can now enjoy two years of free DC fast charging following a partnership with Electrify America. Not only does the Polestar become more appealing, but electric vehicles also increase their popularity in the process. The world is gradually shifting from gasoline and diesel vehicles to a future where EVs will reign supreme. With more electric models now available than before, patronage has equally grown. Traditional gasoline models like Ford Mustang and Hummer have undergone significant transformations in efforts to rebrand them as worthy EVs. Interestingly, Tesla's controversial CEO, Elon Musk, recently boasted that the Model Y would soon become the world's best-selling vehicle. The thought of claiming a title that a gasoline model (Toyota Corolla) has held since 2021 demonstrates how far EVs have come and what the future holds for them.

Despite the growing number of EVs in dealerships today, some Americans are doubtful about going electric. Aside from not completely understanding how they work, some rational reasons for their reluctance exist. For instance, there aren't many charging stations, as is the case with gas stations. Additionally, some EVs support a certain number of public chargers, thereby reducing the number of available chargers for such owners. Meanwhile, the topic of the driving range remains a barrier to people looking to buy an EV. Fortunately, GM developed an online tool that can answer EV questions in a bid to win more people over.

Luckily, buyers of the Polestar 2 may not worry about charging often, seeing as how the electric sedan offers up to 270 miles of range. Drivers can buy the Polestar EV with either single or dual motors, starting at $48,400. The single-motor option can deliver 270 miles, while the dual motor variant is good for up to 260 miles. The Polestar 2 can be charged at home using a home charging station or in a public charging station like Chargepoint. For customers looking to enjoy faster EV charging at home, the Polestar website recommends Qmerit. Qmerit is one of the home electrification experts that can install charging stations in houses. To make EV charging accessible and affordable for its customers, Polestar offers access to free, fast charging at all Electrify America stations. This applies to only Polestar 2.

Aside from the regular 120V and 240V charging options, some EVs, like the Polestar 2, support DC fast charging. This method offers drivers more range in less time. This is why more high-speed charging stations are being built across the U.S. EVs with DC fast charging capability typically enjoy more popularity than those without. For example, using fast charging, the Polestar 2 can add up to 80 percent within 30 minutes. In addition, thanks to a new agreement with Electrify America, owners of the Polestar EV can enjoy up to 150 kW per session for two years. New and existing patrons of the Polestar 2 (2021 and 2022 model years) qualify.

Existing Polestar 2 customers will get an email detailing how to begin the complimentary charging sessions. Customers will find a unique enrollment code that they can use to initiate the charging credits. They can access the credits using the Electrify America app available to Android and iOS-enabled devices. Intending buyers will receive their enrollment code within two weeks of purchasing their Polestar EV.
