Polestar, the Swedish EV automaker, released updates on their latest vehicle, the Polestar 2. The new car will have increased range, a lower entry price for the single-motor option, and a new bespoke configuration. The announcement comes as the Polestar 2 nears launch in Canada.
The vehicle now comes with an option of a single-motor powertrain or dual-motor powertrain.
The single-motor options have an estimated EPA range of 426-km. In addition, pricing for the single-motor option starts at $49,900, which means it qualifies under some provincial incentive schemes . So, owners in Quebec for instance can enjoy the new Polestar 2 for as low as $41,900.
