An in-depth look at the all-electric Polestar car brand and how it's going carbon-neutral
Polestar has teamed up with tech pioneer StoreDot, as it looks to increase its electric battery know-how. StoreDot is currently a class-leader in fast-charging technology, and the new partnership will see Polestar investigate the use of its silicon dominant, lithium-ion cells.
In February 2022, Polestar named its industry partners and suppliers which will help decarbonise the end-to-end production process. It will work with the likes of SSAB, Hydro, ZF, ZKW and Autoliv to develop fossil-free steel, for example, and reduce the carbon in aluminium manufacturing.Interestingly, Polestar isn’t be pursuing a policy of offsetting as the Swedish car brand questions the practice’s long-term viability.
Whether people will take a similar approach to Polestar’s transparency, as they do to McDonalds’, remains to be seen.

It uses a version of the SPA platform and a modified 592bhp, Volvo T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain to boost performance and electric-only range. 62mph arrives from a standstill in just 4.2 seconds, and there’s an all-electric range of 93 miles. In addition, features such as adjustable Öhlins shocks hint at Polestar’s tuning-firm beginnings.
Inside, the Polestar 2 surrenders its infotainment system to Google; the 2 uses the search giant’s new HMI software, essentially a more powerful, baked-in version of Android Auto.
