Our take
Polestar is a premium electric performance car brand based in Sweden as a joint venture between Volvo Cars and Geely Holdings. Founded in 2017, the company has cars on the road across Europe, North America and Asia.
What sets Polestar apart from other brands is its asset-light business model and a digital first, direct to consumer approach, enabling customers to browse their products and place orders online without the need for a showroom or dealership.
With the rise in electric cars as a sustainable alternative to family cars, it’s clear to see Polestar is in a great position to manage the global shift away from fossil fuels and ride out the wave into a more sustainable, greener future.
