About Polestar
Originally part of a European touring car racing team, Polestar subsequently became an aftermarket tuner of high-performance Swedish cars. This independent tuner was eventually purchased by Volvo in 2015 and brought in house to develop enthusiast-oriented "Polestar Engineered" variants of Volvo models. However, it wasn't long before Polestar was spun off as an upscale standalone electric car company. Polestar's initial offering, the Polestar 1, was actually a plug-in hybrid, but all subsequent models including today's Polestar 2 hatchback are pure battery-electric vehicles.
