Summer Highlights 2021

This summer was marked by collaborations, campaigns, and events. And like every summer, we did it the Polestar way.

Collaborated with Highsnobiety at the Paramount House Hotel in Sydney Australia, where robotics engineer and musician Moritz Simon Geist took components from Polestar 2 to create music, and then performed it digitally.

Announced Polestar 3, our next car and the next evolution of Polestar’s design language, will be built in Ridgeville, South Carolina.

The Art for Art campaign was launched allowing collectors to trade their art for our hybrid performance vehicle, the Polestar 1. A true collector’s item.

Our second Polestar Design Contest was launched with the theme of "Progress".

Went back to Goodwood for the Festival of Speed and brought with us our entire story.  Polestar 1, in its golden limited-edition colour, the Experimental Polestar 2, and the Precept.

Opened a Powerstop charging station at Mjölby, strategically located on the E4 between Stockholm and Gothenburg in Sweden.

Premiered episodes 1 and 2 of “Precept: From Concept to Car”, our Precept documentary.

Went to CAKE World’s Race and took the Experimental Polestar 2 with us.  

Invited journalists to test drive our new single motor Polestar 2 models.

Finally, we revealed our exclusive web shop, home for a limited time only to the Makka – Polestar edition by CAKE. Polestar Additionals is our newest digital space for our take on all sorts of lifestyle products.

Not that we’re complaining, but we didn’t get to do a lot of sunbathing…

Is Quiet Luxury the next big thing in mobility?

You may have seen it on your TV screens recently. Your favourite fashion influencer has probably enthused about it on TikTok. Or maybe you've read one of the countless editorials that litter the lifestyle pages of glossy magazines. Unknowingly or not, the latest trend taking over the fashion industry has almost certainly touched your life. But dig a little deeper and you start to discover two things. Firstly, this trend isn't just limited to the fashion world. And secondly, it's not really a trend at all. Welcome to the wonderfully rarefied world of quiet luxury.

Four things you didn’t know about Polestar (but wished you did)

We’re not one to toot our own horn. So we won't. We won't tell you how we've manufactured 150,000 Polestar 2s. We won't get into brand growth and vehicle registrations. And we certainly won't mention our ever-growing global retail footprint that has resulted in over 20,000 handovers in the United Kingdom alone. No. We'll leave the PR to the press people. Instead, as others celebrate these milestones, we'll focus on some of the human (and not-so-human) stories behind the numbers. Because Polestar isn't just about cars. It's about people.

When reading about EVs, you often hear about the lack of range, the hidden environmental effects, and the high costs. But driving electric is not the hassle you might believe. To show you why, we thought it best to let one of our customers tell their story.
