# Polestar electric cars

We cover 2 Polestar models: 4,722 new registrations in the Netherlands in 2024 and 2025 combined, with consumption of 151 to 181 Wh/km (WLTP).

Short answer

As of October 18, 2026, at 15,000 km a year and all charged at home, a Polestar earns about €275 to €330 a year in ERE, after the median commission of 20%. Consumption is 151 to 181 Wh/km (WLTP). Per kWh, earnings are the same for every car brand: €0.122.

Home charging from 20 to 80%: battery and onboard charger from the charging data, checked on October 6, 2026. Each model page lists its sources. ERE: kWh at 15,000 km × 0.33269 ERE per kWh × €0.460 per ERE × (1 − 20%), rounded to €5.

Comparison

## Polestar: Wh/km and ERE per year

Wh/km is the WLTP consumption from the EEA data. ERE per year at 15,000 km charged at home follows that consumption, rounded to €5. More Wh/km means fewer kilometres per kWh, more kWh charged at the same distance and therefore more ERE. That is not an advantage: each extra kWh earns about €0.12 in ERE but costs about €0.26 in electricity at home. A more efficient car is cheaper overall. Per kWh the brand does not change earnings.

ERE

## What does ERE earn with a Polestar?

At 15,000 km a year, all charged at home, the Polestar models here earn about €275 to €330 a year in ERE, after the median commission of 20%. That difference comes only from the measured consumption: the Polestar 2 at 151 Wh/km to the Polestar 4 at 181 Wh/km. More Wh/km means fewer kilometres per kWh, more kWh charged at the same distance and therefore more ERE. That is not an advantage: each extra kWh earns about €0.12 in ERE but costs about €0.26 in electricity at home. A more efficient car is cheaper overall. Per kWh the brand does not change earnings.

Per kWh, ERE earnings for a Polestar are the same as for every other car brand. The brand does not change that amount. Since 1 January 2026, private users need a charger with a built-in MID meter. [Do the charger check](https://erevergelijken.eu/en/charger-check/)

Bidirectional charging

## Bidirectional charging on a Polestar

This is what the sources say about V2L (to a device), V2H (to your home) and V2G (to the grid). A yes applies only as the note describes it. Checked on October 6, 2026.

-   ### Polestar 2

    No V2L, V2H or V2G from Polestar. Third-party trials showed it is technically possible, but Polestar does not offer it.

-   ### Polestar 4

    According to ev-database.org V2L is announced for model year 2027, up to 3.3 kW via an adapter. There is no confirmation from Polestar. There is no V2H or V2G offer.

Questions

## Questions about Polestar

How much ERE does a Polestar earn per year?

As of October 18, 2026, at 15,000 km a year and all charged at home, a Polestar earns about €275 to €330 a year in ERE, after the median commission of 20%. Consumption is 151 to 181 Wh/km (WLTP). Per kWh, earnings are the same for every car brand: €0.122.

Which Polestar models are listed here?

We cover 2 Polestar models, in order of new registrations in the Netherlands in 2024 and 2025: the Polestar 2 (151 Wh/km, 3,274 registrations) and the Polestar 4 (181 Wh/km, 1,448 registrations). 4,722 registrations combined (EEA).

Which Polestar uses the least energy?

the Polestar 2 has the lowest consumption: 151 Wh/km (WLTP), the most kilometres per kWh of the Polestar models here. the Polestar 4 has the highest consumption: 181 Wh/km. Lower consumption means fewer kWh charged at the same distance and therefore less ERE, not more. The brand does not change earnings per kWh.

How is the ERE figure for a Polestar calculated?

At 15,000 km a year, all charged at home, after the median commission of 20%: about €275 (the Polestar 2, 151 Wh/km) to €330 (the Polestar 4, 181 Wh/km). That difference comes only from the measured consumption (Wh/km, so kilometres per kWh), not from the brand. Per kWh, earnings are the same for every car brand. Since 1 January 2026, private users need a charger with a built-in MID meter; public charging earns you no ERE.

Can I charge a Polestar bidirectionally?

Not for the brand as a whole, and only as the source describes it per model. V2L: unknown on the Polestar 4, no on the Polestar 2. V2H: no on every model in the data. V2G: no on every model in the data. Polestar 2: No V2L, V2H or V2G from Polestar. Third-party trials showed it is technically possible, but Polestar does not offer it. Polestar 4: According to ev-database.org V2L is announced for model year 2027, up to 3.3 kW via an adapter. There is no confirmation from Polestar. There is no V2H or V2G offer. Sources: ev-database.org, The Driven, Zecar, ev-database.org, ev-database.org. Checked on October 6, 2026.

Does the car brand matter for ERE?

No. ERE depends on the kWh you charge at home and on the provider (the ERE price and the commission), never on the car brand. Per kWh, earnings for a Polestar are the same as for every other brand: 0.33269 ERE per kWh, at €0.460 per ERE (October 18, 2026), after the median commission of 20%, which is €0.122 per kWh. A car with higher consumption (more Wh/km, fewer kilometres per kWh) charges more kWh at the same distance and therefore earns more ERE. That difference comes from the measured consumption, not from the brand.
