Polestar recently produced the 100,000th Polestar 2 electric vehicle at Volvo Cars’ plant in Luqiao, China, two and a half years after production began.<\/p>\n

The milestone vehicle is destined for a customer in Ireland, one of the newest Polestar<\/a> global markets, and features unique stickers on the doors to mark the accomplishment.<\/p>\n

“It’s an amazing achievement – especially given we launched the Polestar 2 during the pandemic. Thank you to the team and all our customers who have joined us on this exciting journey.”<\/p>\n

Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Demand for the Polestar 2 remains strong, with the automaker projecting that it will deliver 50,000 cars worldwide this year<\/a>. Polestar has already built 50,000 units so far in 2022, and is now focusing on delivering them to customers around the world.\u00a0The Polestar 2 is currently available in 27 global markets across Europe, North America, China and Asia Pacific.<\/p>\n

Since the very first Polestar 2 vehicle was delivered in July 2020, the EV has been continuously upgraded. Thanks to remote over-the-air (OTA) software updates, various elements have been added to the cars, including extending real-world range, increasing charging speed, an eco climate function and battery preconditioning optimization.<\/p>\n

In the first nine months of this year, the Polestar 2<\/a> ranked fifth in the midsize premium car segment for sales, ahead of the BMW i4 EV and ICE-powered Audi A5. Polestar sold 17,994 EVs during the period, up 63 percent, according to figures from market researcher Dataforce cited by Automotive News Europe<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The volume also made the Polestar 2 Europe’s fifth-ranked premium EV, ahead of the Audi Q4 e-tron, Mercedes-Benz EQA and the Volvo XC40 Recharge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the Polestar 2 is currently the brand\u2019s only all-electric model on sale, the brand will add three new EVs over the next three years, starting with the recently revealed Polestar 3<\/a> in 2023. The midsize SUV will be followed by the Polestar 4 crossover coupe<\/a> in 2024 and the Polestar 5 flagship sedan in 2025. Further down the road is the Polestar 6 halo roadster, expected to launch within the next five years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Polestar recently announced it secured a $1.6 billion loan from its two major shareholders, Volvo Cars and PSD Investment Ltd, that will help capitalize the company through 2023.<\/p>\n
