Polestar 2 is the foundation of our brand, with over 190,000 cars sold and an enthusiastic community of customers, said Michael Lohscheller, Polestar CEO. Bringing the next generation of this iconic car at record speed, by the start of next year, is very exciting. The car that we became known for will play a key role in our future success, he added.
I want to have those current Polestar 2 customers back. I want to have those, because we built it up [the customer base]," Lohscheller said. "I think we did a great job, and I want to keep them in the family.
James lives in a terraced home with no off-street parking, which is a scenario common across the U.K.'s urban and suburban neighborhoods. That meant relying entirely on public charging infrastructure for his Polestar 2. Over 12 months, he drove a total of 8,956 miles and spent £1,194.56 ($1613.15) on electricity from public chargers. That works out to roughly 13 pence ($0.18) per mile, according to his on-screen calculations.
