Accessible Smooth Power
Polestar just announced a single motor version with about half the dual-motor's output, but we suspect the Polestar 2 will be best served with that two-motor setup. The company has delivered an incredibly well-refined electric vehicle off the bat, and some of that refinement is in the tuning of the power delivery. When it comes to putting that power down for say, overtaking, there's no big jolt. Instead, you get a super smooth surge that comes in a whoosh as you leave whatever you're overtaking behind. Passengers aren't suddenly sitting bolt upright with white knuckles and are, instead, just left to experience the kind of refined and undramatic excess of power you typically expect from something seriously upmarket like a Rolls-Royce or Bentley.
