When fighting for a cause, it pays to gather people together. Meetings, rallies, expositions, they’re all ways of collecting the like-minded in one place to really make progress. When that cause is a climate-neutral future, things get tricky. Assembling a global crowd in one place causes untold emissions. Electrify Expo, America’s largest e-mobility event, had a clever solution.

Art communicates. It resonates with us all in a way that few of us can fully articulate. The medium doesn’t matter either. Whether sculpture or song, acrylics or alabaster, art provokes a reaction. As such, it’s an incredibly powerful way to deliver a message, directly accessing the audience’s emotions and creating a connection. Which is exactly why Thijs Biersteker does what he does.

Polestar 2 is greater than the sum of its parts. And that’s due, in large part, to the parts being so great. Such as the revolutionary dampers provided by Swedish suspension manufacturer Öhlins.

In the world of automotive, materials are all important, each offering different characteristics and attributes that make them ideal for different applications. Carbon fibre. Aluminium. And denim.

About 14 billion years ago (it’s estimated), the universe burst into existence. Ever since, it’s been expanding outwards. And though it’s only been four years as opposed to 14 billion since the creation of the Polestar universe, it’s already experienced growth at a breakneck speed. As we head into a new year, our global presence continues expanding at an accelerating pace.

The EV revolution is spreading rapidly. As is its need for power. But today, most of the power on the grid is not clean. To reduce carbon emissions in the energy sector, and turn the grid green, we need technological breakthroughs. And when talking about turning things green, what better source of inspiration than nature itself?

In the Baroque period, musicians experimented with new sounds and cadence, pushing the boundaries of musical complexity. In an era driven by innovation, composers like Vivaldi pioneered new techniques that stand as works of art even today. It should come as no surprise then, that the Vivaldi web browser is the pioneering browser now available for the native Android Automotive OS of the ever-evolving Polestar 2.

People compete for different reasons.

Challenging conventions. Evolving our design language. Driving climate action. These are the convictions that define the Polestar universe. Looking back across another eventful year, it’s evident that they’ve all contributed to the expansion of said universe. These are our highlights from 2021.

Managing and promoting human rights in the supply chain is one of Petra Pettersson’s focus areas as Polestar Inclusion Lead.

The transition to green energy is taking centre stage in the quest for climate neutrality. To enable this transition, it’s clear that governments, businesses, and academic institutions have the lion’s share of the responsibility. But not all. By taking measures on an individual level, each and every one of us can bring about a paradigm shift.

True change always seems like an insurmountable obstacle. But if it’s needed, we have to find a way. Like bringing the car industry into a climate-neutral future, for example. Because as the saying goes: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

Sorry, gearheads. We know how much fun it can be to pop the hood and make some modifications to upgrade a car’s performance. We’ve even indulged in a bit of wrenching ourselves from time to time. But with the performance software upgrade for Polestar 2, the days of tool-free tweaks have arrived.
