Polestar is the Electric cousin of Volvo, built to be a Northern European rival to Tesla. Swedish cars have a history of being strong and safe - Volvo invented the three point seat belt, Saab (no longer with us) built the first cars that could be dropped on their roofs and when you have snow for miles and miles you need that dependability.

Interior

Designed to reflect Volvos history, the boxy nature of the car is a modern interpretation of the the classic. Safety is key, using the battery as a platform to create an amazingly strong crash structure, and using the Polestar Spoc to divert debris around the car and not intrude on the survival cell or battery pack.

We take real world range from EV database, which combines the predicted range of an EV in cold weather with the predicted range of an EV driving in warm weather.

For cold weather, this assumes it’s -10 degrees celsius with heating on. For warmer weather, it’s based on 23 degrees celsius and there’s no A/C on.

Predicting exact range is tricky, and range will depend on speed, style of driving, weather conditions and route conditions.

Many things can impact the range you get in your EV, there are outside factors and ones you can control or mitigate. Temperature (both of the car and outside environment), your driving style, weather, the surfaces you drive on and the spec of your car can all make a difference to your actual range.
