Polestar has selected Evnex as its preferred home-charging hardware provider in Australia.
Evnex uses smart-charging technology to allow customers to prioritise solar or grid energy, account for the unique tariffs and different energy mixes of each state and territory, and balance loading on the grid, charge time, and charging costs.
The 7.4kW Evnex E2 charger, manufactured in Christchurch and launched Australia-wide in July 2023, is also the first to offer carbon-monitoring tools, is housed in an enclosure built from 80% bio-circular plastic, and can deliver 40km of driving range per hour.
“Polestar is on a mission to accelerate the shift to sustainable, electric mobility, and looks for partners that share our ambitions and core values,” says Polestar Australia head Samantha Johnson.
“We are therefore delighted to announce our partnership with Evnex as our recommended home-charging supplier in Australia.
“Evnex’s commitment to sustainable materials and circularity in design will resonate with our customers, while its industry-first carbon-monitoring system will help owners prioritise renewable energy when charging.”
Evnex chief executive Ed Harvey says its technology has been designed to help drivers take better care of the climate by putting the most accurate energy data available at their fingertips.
“This allows them to make a more informed choice about when to charge and the types of energy they want to use.”
The Evnex E2 smart charger is now available to all Polestar customers and can be ordered from the Polestar Australia website.
