In the realm of the automotive world, eight years isn’t all that long. Legacy carmakers have been around for decades, with glacial evolution in manufacturing and technologies. Today’s cars can go eight years without much change.

‍

Which is why what Polestar has accomplished in that time is extraordinary. Since it became a standalone brand in 2017, it has released four ground-breaking electric vehicles, with more on the way. Each of its vehicles feature an appealingly minimal Scandinavian design, modern technologies, and efficient powertrains. Starting from a clean slate, Polestar has been able to redefine the carmaking model.

‍

But perhaps more importantly, it’s also revealed plans to change the industry for the better when it comes to eliminating greenhouse gas emissions (GHG); it’s the first automaker to truly take climate change seriously.

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.

In the realm of the automotive world, eight years isn’t all that long. Legacy carmakers have been around for decades, with glacial evolution in manufacturing and technologies. Today’s cars can go eight years without much change.

‍

Which is why what Polestar has accomplished in that time is extraordinary. Since it became a standalone brand in 2017, it has released four ground-breaking electric vehicles, with more on the way. Each of its vehicles feature an appealingly minimal Scandinavian design, modern technologies, and efficient powertrains. Starting from a clean slate, Polestar has been able to redefine the carmaking model.

But perhaps more importantly, it’s also revealed plans to change the industry for the better when it comes to eliminating greenhouse gas emissions (GHG); it’s the first automaker to truly take climate change seriously.

Let’s take a detailed look at Polestar’s history and current lineup, by the numbers.

‍

0

On April 7, 2021, just two years after the company’s inception, Polestar leadership initiated the Polestar 0 project, dedicated to eliminating all emissions through the life of its vehicles, from supply chain to production, deliveries, and even the vehicle’s end-of-life, along with full transparency reporting of its progress. The timeline would be just nine years, targeted for 2030.

Polestar 0 project
1

The company’s first vehicle was the Polestar 1, a premium performance PHEV coupe, built from 2019 to 2022 in a limited run of just 1,500 vehicles. It featured a turbocharged 2.0L engine with two electric motors for 619hp and carbon fibre reinforced polymer body panels.

Polestar 1
2

Polestar’s second car was a full BEV – The Polestar 2. It was a four-door sedan that debuted in 2020.

Polestar 2
3

You guessed it; the Polestar 3 was the automaker’s first luxury, all-electric SUV, with production starting in 2024.

Polestar 3
4

The Polestar 4 started production for North America in 2025 in South Korea. Despite it being designed to slot in between the 2 and 3 in size, the numerical nomenclature is based on the date of introduction.

Polestar 4
-24.7%

Percentage of the reduction in carbon footprint per Polestar vehicle to date its first vehicles in 2020.

89%

The amount of recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic used in the Tailored Knit upholstery inside the Polestar 4. The material is knitted to fit the seat to minimize waste and was developed in partnership with the Swedish School of Textiles.

506km

The range of the Polestar 3 Long range Dual motor with a 111 kWh battery pack.

30minutes

The time it takes to charge a Polestar vehicle’s battery from 10% to 80% charge with a Level 3 DC fast charger, to have you on your way quickly.

-41%

The drop in percentage of carbon footprint of the Polestar 3’s battery vs. that of the Polestar 2 launch edition. This was achieved by using renewable energy in the production of the battery cell modules and anodes and cathodes.

8years

Polestar batteries and electric motors are covered by an eight-year or 160,000-km full warranty. Other warranties include four-year or 80,000 overall vehicle coverage from defects, a 12-year corrosion warranty and a five-year airbag warranty.

85% plus

More than 85 % of the Polestar 4 is recyclable, reducing waste and CO₂ emissions from new-component production. The Polestar 3 is 83 % recyclable at end of life.

23tonnes

Cradle-to-Gate CO₂e emissions of the Polestar 4 Long-Range Dual Motor AWD – the lowest carbon footprint of all Polestar vehicles at production.

544hp

Total horsepower of the Polestar 4 Long Range Dual Motor – the brand’s most eco-friendly yet most powerful vehicle.

3.8seconds

The 0-to-100 km/h acceleration time of the Polestar 4 Long Range Dual Motor.

100%

The percentage of renewable power used by Polestar’s Hangzhou Bay plant in China, supplemented by solar and hydroelectric energy across other facilities.

500

The number of times per second the active air suspension in the Polestar 3 monitors road conditions and driver input.

1,610watts

The power of the amplifier in the Bowers & Wilkins stereo system found in the Polestar 3. A total of 25 speakers around the cabin provides an immersive, crystal-clear sound experience no matter the music genre.

If Polestar can manage all this in just eight years, imagine what the future will bring for this forward-thinking, innovative Swedish brand. Who knows? They might just change this industry after all – while helping our planet along the way in the process.
