Polestar 2 electric car
We paid a visit to Scottsdale Arizona to get see the 2021 Polestar 2 electric car on display. Polestar is a sub brand of Swedish car maker Volvo, and chinese automaker Geely. The Polestar electric car brand is Volvo's push to electrify its entire car lineup by 2025.

Unlike the original Polestar 1 that was a plug-in hybrid, the Polestar 2 is all electric. The Polestar 2 competes directly with Tesla model 3 in the growing electric car market. It is currently being built in Luqiao China. The upcoming Polestar 3 SUV EV is planned to be built at their Ridgeville, South Carolina manufacturing plant. 

The Polestar 2 is offered with a 78 kWh battery pack. The Front-wheel drive, single motor option of the Polestar 2 puts out 231 hp and has a EPA range of 265 miles on a single charge. The All-wheel drive performance "Launch" version of the Polestar 2 is powered by two electric motors producing a combined 408 hp with 487 ft. lbs. of torque, with EPA range estimated at 233 to 249 miles.
