Yes, Polestar is a performance-focused electric car brand that operates under the Volvo Car Group and Geely. While it shares some technology with Volvo, Polestar cars are designed to be standalone premium EVs.

Polestar batteries are designed to last for many years, with most models offering a warranty of at least eight years or 100,000 miles. Battery life depends on usage and charging habits, but modern EVs are built to maintain performance over time.

The Polestar 2 offers an official range of up to 395 miles (WLTP), but real-world figures typically range between 250-350 miles, depending on weather, driving style, and road conditions.

You can charge a Polestar at thousands of public charging stations across the UK, including rapid chargers from networks like IONITY, InstaVolt, and Gridserve. Home charging via a wallbox is also an easy and convenient option.
