You do realize this has nothing to do with it being built from the start as an electric vehicle right? And as far as I know, the polestar is designed as an EV too.

The Polestar 2 is built on Volvo/Geely's CMA platform and is very similar to the ICE Volvo XC40. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Modular_Architecture_platform https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Modular_Architecture_p...

Meh, my wife was grooving for a Polestar so I rented a Polestar 1 for a weekend and we both came away feeling like it was good to rent because we definitely didn’t want to buy it. It was like the Swedes put all their effort into the material design and gave no shits about the UX. The UX was something Ford would have been proud of in 2009.

  PS1 was a low volume car, almost concept level. The UX of PS2, a large volume car, is much better and generally very well received.

    Also the PS1 isn't an EV, it's a hybrid.

It really does though.. the model Y storage area folds flat completely and my 6'5 self can lay flat with extra leg room and sit up straight with plenty of headroom. There is no body designed around the constraints of routing exhaust or transmission elements. It is just an empty box.

The polestar 2 is built off of an ICE platform. The first polestar built off of a dedicated EV platform will be the polestar 3.
