Polestar owners in North America will have access to Tesla's charging network starting next year.
New Polestar vehicles sold in North America will come standard with the Tesla-designed North American Charging Standard, or NACS, plug starting in 2025.
Most non-Tesla EVs and charging stations in North America use a plug design called CCS, which stands for Combined Charging System.
Tesla EVs can use CCS chargers with an adapter, but currently only Tesla EVs can use Tesla chargers.
Tesla's plug design was proprietary until November, when the company published the technical details of its system and made it available to other automakers and makers of EV chargers.
