What does ERE bring in with your Polestar 4?

How far do you drive a year?

15,000km

That is 2,715 kWh charged at home a year

Home charger

## Which home charger suits the Polestar 4?

The Polestar 4 charges at home at up to 11 kW three-phase. A 11 kW (3 phases, 16 A) charger is enough: it charges from 20 to 80% in about 5 h 45 min. A 22 kW charger does not make it faster. With the optional 22 kW onboard charger and a 22 kW charger it takes about 2 h 45 min.

Fast charging (DC), max.

22 kW onboard charger is a separate option; Polestar quotes 100 kWh gross (about 94 kWh usable per ev-database).

For ERE the charger matters, not the car: home charging only earns ERE with a MID meter built into the charger. [Do the charger check](https://erevergelijken.eu/en/charger-check/)

Bidirectional charging

## Can the Polestar 4 supply power back?

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.

ERE

## Earning ERE with your Polestar 4

For every kWh you charge at home you can have emission reduction units (ERE) registered and sold, through an ERE provider. Public charging does not count for you.

1.  A charger with a built-in MID meter

    Since 1 January 2026, only a MID meter built into the charger itself counts for private users. A separate MID meter in the meter cupboard, or only a smart meter, is not enough. Of the 110 charger models we researched, 53 have a built-in MID meter.

    [Do the charger check](https://erevergelijken.eu/en/charger-check/) [Chargers by brand](https://erevergelijken.eu/en/ere-charger/)

2.  An ERE provider

    The provider books your charging sessions with the NEa and sells the EREs. Commissions range from 10% to 28%; above we use the median of 20%.

    [Compare ERE providers](https://erevergelijken.eu/en/compare/)

3.  Cheaper at home and on the road

    With a dynamic contract and smart charging you pay the least per kWh at home; on the road a suitable charging card makes a difference.
