The End of the Beginning​

As of today, June 24th, Polestar is listed on the Nasdaq in New York under the ticker PSNY. This allows us to welcome shareholders, as well as customers, to join our journey towards more sustainable electric performance. This is a confirmation that Polestar has come of age. An end of the beginning.​ And a beginning of something more.​

Polestar was founded in an idea: one of design-led, sustainable, electric performance, an idea expressed at launch with our first car. A minimalistic electric performance hybrid, Polestar 1 was a message to the traditional, conventional automotive industry. One that couldn’t be ignored.​

That car, just like Polestar today, couldn’t be put in a box, it wasn’t easily defined. It raised questions, started conversations and built the platform that has enabled us to say more. But progress rejects the status quo, change is a must.​

We’ve come a long way since our launch, continuously pushing boundaries to create cars, and a brand, without compromise. And now, a new era has begun. Consumer interest in electrification is growing apace, as the environmental and financial benefits of going electric make it the obvious choice.​

Today we’re up and running, a trusted vehicle OEM that’s outgrown its start-up origins. We have over 55,000 cars on the road, every one a messenger for change. A vision of progress. A view that can be seen across 25 markets today. And no, we’re not stopping there.​

“We promised growth and we are delivering on that promise,” says Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO.​

But more than that, we promised change. Progress. To continue to deliver that, the brand must constantly evolve. And never stop pushing.​

And we are retiring that first messenger, the car that started it all, Polestar 1. But this isn’t the beginning of the end.​

It is just the end of the beginning.​

Milan is the centre of the design universe (again)

With machine learning exhibitions, anti-smartphone throwbacks, and a giant brutalist orange lavatory, Milan Design Week is always one of the most sought-after tickets on the cultural calendar. Designs first seen on these well-trodden streets inevitably filter down into your homes, wardrobes, and, yes, even cars. As any good creative will tell you, if you want to see what’s coming next in the world of design, you must first start in Milan. We join Nargess Banks for this year’s must-see attractions at Salone del Mobile and Fuorisalone.

Polestar 3: Press impressions from the Arctic Circle

Nestled in the snowy landscapes of Jokkmokk, Sweden, we recently welcomed a handful of journalists eager to test drive Polestar 3 on ice. Here, where temperatures plummet well below freezing and daylight is a precious commodity, the true capabilities of Polestar 3 were put to the test. Over two weeks, on a bespoke test track carved into the ice of a metre-thick frozen lake, they got behind the wheel to experience our first SUV first-hand. Here’s what they had to say.
