Comprehensive Guide on Electric Vehicle Infotainment: Nearly all the information you require about entertainment systems in EVs
Polestar, the electric performance car brand, is revolutionising the way we use our vehicles, thanks to a new collaboration with Google. The partnership brings a host of innovative features to Polestar vehicles, transforming them into mobile hubs for work, entertainment, and home-life tasks.
Polestar's Central Command Centre
At the heart of this transformation is the centre display, which serves as a central command centre in Polestar vehicles. This display, available in sizes ranging from 9 inches on the Polestar 3 to 12.3 inches on the Polestar 2 and 10.2 inches on the Polestar 4, offers a seamless switch between Polestar's menus and Google Play applications.
Google Automotive Keyboard App
One of the standout features is the Google Automotive Keyboard app, available for Polestar vehicles. This app turns the touchscreen into a computer keyboard, allowing drivers and passengers to perform work and home-life tasks while recharging battery packs or waiting for the school run to begin.
Entertainment on the Go
Electric vehicle charging breaks, which typically take around half an hour or less, can be used for more than just recharging your car. With the Polestar infotainment system, you can watch TV shows on Prime Video, listen to music on Tidal, or catch up on podcasts and audiobooks.
Gaming in Polestar Vehicles
For those seeking a more interactive experience, the Polestar 2 offers gaming options, including a dedicated gaming controller and a selection of arcade games and more involving gaming titles through the Gamesnacks app.
Productivity Boosters and Voice Control
The Google Play store offers a variety of in-car apps, including productivity-boosting apps, Zoom, and new apps that are constantly being added. Integrating a Polestar vehicle into the Google Home ecosystem allows drivers to control various vehicle functions and smart home devices using voice commands. Google Assistant, available with constant Internet connectivity, allows drivers to have emails read aloud, reply to text messages, and be reminded of important calendar entries without taking eyes off the road.
Google Home Integration
Google Home Integration enables drivers to check the battery charge status of their car and activate climate functions while preparing breakfast. The head-up display, available in Polestar 3 and Polestar 4, further enhances this experience by projecting essential information directly onto the windscreen.
The Future with Polestar 4
The future of this collaboration is exciting, with the Polestar 4 scheduled to be available and released later in the year 2025. It was first shown at the New York International Auto Show in 2025 and will go on sale during that same year. The Polestar 4's in-car entertainment system interface layout is designed for intuitive use of apps and car functions. Additionally, Polestar 4 comes with wireless Apple CarPlay, and Polestar 3's wireless offering is coming soon.
The Polestar and Google collaboration is set to redefine the in-car experience, offering a seamless blend of productivity, entertainment, and smart home integration. Whether you're commuting, charging, or simply waiting, your Polestar vehicle is now more than just a means of transport - it's your mobile office, your entertainment hub, and your smart home controller.
