The history of Polestar It is already a regular in the new times. The increasingly demanding global emissions and pollution regulations have forced brands to present particular ranges of electric vehicles. Many manufacturers have chosen to create completely new brands to differentiate these electric cars from more conventional products, something that happens in the case at hand.

Polestar is the electrical firm of Volvo, although its beginnings had little or nothing to do with such efficient mobility. The first time we heard his name was in the late 2000s. Volvo considered it its competition division, and thanks to this we were able to attend the launch of incredible products such as the Volvo C30 Polestar or the Volvo S60 Polestar. Radical versions of their corresponding street units that took the heat engines they mounted to the extreme.

But times change and needs/demands too. Little by little the brand has redirected its path towards the path of electrification. In 2018 the Volvo S60 was the first to use the terminology to refer to its high-performance plug-in hybrid version, since it must not be forgotten that Polestar always brings with it performance far superior to the usual Volvo standard.

in the fall of 2017 Volvo and Geely, the Chinese company that owns the Swedish firm, announce to the world that the Polestar family becomes a brand focused exclusively on electric technology. After a few prototypes, its first "commercial" product hits the market, the Polestar 1. A high-performance coupé with plug-in hybrid technology and more than 600 horses. In 2019 the second unit of the house is offered, the Polestar 2, this time yes, with 100% electric technology.

In the future, the electric division will gain more prominence as more electric models come onto the market. In the coming years we will see models such as the Polestar 3 with an SUV format and a more than likely Polestar 4, which is expected to be the convertible version of its first model. Their factory is located in a newly built state-of-the-art state-of-the-art facility in the city of Chengdu, China.. From there the products are exported all over the world.
