Chinese media awards 2019

We do what we do because we love it. We’re united by an obsession with design and a dedication to electric mobility. Every completed car, every space that throws open its doors, every interaction with a fan: these all feel like awards to us.

But what’s even more like an award are the awards. The Chinese media has recently seen fit to recognise Polestar, and we’re humbled. Awards like these are confirmations; leading the way as a guiding star sometimes means you’re operating, more or less, on your own. It’s gratifying to know that the outside world also likes what you’re doing.

So thank you, Chinese press. We do what we do because we love it. We’re glad you love it too.

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.

SUVs and the U.S. – an electrified bond

If we say gas-guzzling, you say: SUVs. And if we say SUVs, you say: the U.S., right? But as car makers and car models increasingly turn electric, at least one of these associations might look very different in the future.
