Polestar showcased innovation and a strong path forward at its inaugural Polestar Day. Held in Los Angeles, California, the event gathered key executives and innovations in front of an audience of customers, investors and press.

Among the significant announcements at the event are:

  • A pilot project and the launching of a Virtual Power Plant for vehicle-to-grid technology development with Polestar 3. This will leverage the Bidirectional charging technology that allows Polestar 3 cars to discharge energy from their batteries back to the individual home or electricity grid.

  • The expansion of Polestar’s manufacturing footprint, with Polestar 4 production to begin in South Korea in 2025.

  • The Polestar 4 will be the first production car to feature Mobileye Chauffeur, now combined with Luminar LiDAR which will allow point-to-point autonomous highway driving and eyes-on automated driving for other environments. Read more here.

  • Polestar is working with StoreDot to bring their extreme fast charging (XFC) technology to production. Dubbed ‘100-in-5’, it sees 100 miles (160 km) of range charged in just five minutes, can be integrated into battery pack formats that are already available, and does not need to rely on a battery pack design revolution.

Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO, says: “Polestar Day provides substantial insight into our products and the innovations we are working on together with global leaders in various fields to bring the best electric performance cars to market. We are progressing from having one car on the roads – Polestar 2 – to having three, with the ongoing launches of our two SUVs, Polestar 3 and Polestar 4. The coming months will be some of the most exciting our young company has ever seen.”

Polestar was joined at the event by executives from strategic partners including Bcomp, Göteborg Energi, Luminar, Mobileye and StoreDot.

Polestar’s full range of future models was exhibited together for the first time, including Polestar 3, Polestar 4, Polestar 5, Polestar Precept, the Polestar Electric Roadster Concept and Polestar Synergy. Guests were able to test drive the latest MY24 Polestar 2, as well as ride in Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 development prototypes with Polestar engineers and experts.
