How Polestar Build Longevity Into Every One of Its Vehicles

The philosophy of circularity means a lower carbon footprint and longer-lasting cars

Circularity. It’s a principle Polestar follows to promote sustainability in its production. That means manufacturing vehicles as cleanly as possible, ensuring they are highly recyclable at the end of their life, and designing them to last as long as possible in between, to reduce each vehicle’s carbon footprint.

Polestar’s commitment to sustainability means it plans on having its pre-owned cars around for a long time. And it achieves this longevity in a number of ways.

Over-The-Air Improvements

Polestar engineers are constantly improving vehicle systems and drivetrains to find both performance and efficiency. And while it means we can expect better vehicles in the future, it also helps owners of pre-owned vehicles today.

Every Polestar features over-the-air (OTA) update capability, which seamlessly allows the automaker to improve electronic features over cellular and WiFi. Just like your phone, you’ll be notified when updates are available on the centre screen; these could include infotainment, safety systems, climate controls, battery management, and driving performance. So, your pre-owned Polestar only gets better with time.

Battery Technology

When it comes to lithium-ion drive batteries, they are designed to be modular, allowing individual parts to be replaced when needed. This reduces costs related to parts, repairs, and replacements while also extending their lifespan. Polestar’s research continues to explore new technologies and processes for increased battery longevity and performance, with the capability to integrate these advancements into existing Polestar vehicles in the future.

Polestar also uses a sophisticated Battery Monitoring System that keeps tabs on the state of charge, temperature, and other key elements. It prevents the battery from overheating and helps balance the charge across individual cells to keep it performing at its best and lasting as long as possible.

And to demonstrate Polestar's confidence in its technology, every vehicle comes with an eight-year battery warranty.

The savings calculator is a guide and not a guarantee of actual savings. Savings are calculated by the cost of your monthly trips (total km x fuel cost ÷ consumption of your vehicle), and how many of the monthly km can be driven in electric and hybrid mode, combining which shows the cost of the Outlander PHEV and the difference compared to your vehicle. Actual efficiency will vary depending on conditions, such as external elements, driving behaviours, vehicle maintenance and lithium-ion battery age.
