How PolestarCars is gunning for carbon-neutral car manufacturing: it's named new partners today to help decarbonise things like steel production ♻️
Polestar has revealed a new plan to create a climate neutral car by 2030. Called Polestar 0, the goal was announced at the company’s first annual review in 2021, and aims to put some world-saving figures behind the brand’s already green marketing and production practices.
'We’re electric, so we don’t have to worry about combustion engines producing toxic emissions – but that doesn’t mean our job is done. We will now work to eradicate all emissions stemming from production,’ added Polestar’s head of sustainability, Fredrika Klarén.
Ingenlath wants to offer more ‘complete performance electric cars’ than any current offering. ‘Electric cars now are defined by their acceleration. That’s useless in day-to-day driving, and sometimes they’re so fast they can be frightening. We will make cars that are really enjoyable to drive in handling, steering and in overall everyday performance.'The Polestar 1 was the very first car launched by Polestar, and a state of intent for Geely’s premium electrified brand.
While it is available to buy in the UK for £139,000, the Polestar 1 is also available via a monthly subscription model, though currently only available in LHD form. The Polestar 2 is the first bespoke EV from the brand, and therefore the most true to the brand’s mission for electrification. The Tesla Model 3 wears a tweaked version of Volvo’s Concept 40.2 design, but stuffs a four-wheel-drive, 402bhp EV powertrain capable of 0-62mph in 2.7 and a range of 311 miles.
It’s unclear what shape the 3 will take; there aren’t any existing concepts from Volvo or Polestar that point to an aerodynamic SUV as Ingenlath describes. We do know the styling will riff on the themes shown in the Polestar Precept concept below, though.
