Some might measure a year in sunrises, sunsets, or cups of coffee. But at Polestar, a year is measured in moments. Through groundbreaking innovations, milestones, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences, 2022 has been quite the journey. Some moments have been big, and others have been huge. You get 525,600 minutes to spend each year. This is how we spent ours.

A partnership between two organizations can be likened to the attraction between two magnets. Just as opposite poles attract, organizations with different skills are drawn together to achieve common objectives. That’s why we’ve signed a memorandum of understanding with North American start-up, Cyclic Materials, which specializes in the recycling of magnets.

When facing problems, we are often told to go to the root of the issue. The issue of recycling and sustainability is no different. Climate change cannot be solved through ad-hoc solutions. It requires a restructuring of our manufacturing processes, from beginning to end. Our cars begin with raw materials. So that is where we must start, on our journey towards true sustainability.

To reach climate neutrality, we have to start from the beginning. Rethink and redo. Explore, develop, and compare. When choosing materials, and how to design with them, sustainability has to be top of mind. It can't be achieved at a later stage of the process. It must be ensured from step one.

Working with others comes with a wealth of advantages. The sharing of expertise, lessons learned, and creating things that would never have been possible while working alone. The Polestar 2 BST edition 270 is one such thing. A passion project brought to you by the best in the business.

To progress, we must first assess. Attribute prototype cars are put through their paces to assess how well the different parts work, and how they can be improved upon.

Put one foot in front of the other. Repeat. One step at a time. This is the only way to move forward and standing still isn't an option. Our direction is clear, our goals are set in stone, and we're eager to take the next big step with the new Polestar 2 sustainability upgrades.

We need to invite them in.

Film festivals are about more than the films.

Silence can be peaceful. It can be awkward. And it can speak volumes. But sometimes, silence is just a void. An absence of engagement, commitment, or promise. In the context of car brand's climate goals, it's a blank to be filled in.

Sturdy constructions are built from the ground up. The same goes for sustainable products. Creating a truly climate-neutral car means we first need a sustainable foundation. But laying a solid and sustainable base is no solo mission. It requires teamwork. Which is why we're looking for further collaboration in the Polestar 0 project.
