Polestar’s boss said the technology would help to overcome what is seen by the public as one of the biggest shortcomings of EVs, which is time-consuming charging stops when compared with petrol or diesel.
“Time is one of life’s greatest luxuries, and as a manufacturer of luxury electric performance cars, we need to take the next step to address one of the biggest barriers to EV ownership: charging anxiety,” said Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath.
“With this new technology, on longer journeys, when drivers do stop, they will be able to spend less time charging and be back on the road faster than before. In fact, that stop time will be more akin to what they experience with a petrol car today.”
