Polestar, Volvo’s new electric car brand, is set to enter the Australian market with the high-performance Polestar 2, aiming to compete with Tesla’s Model 3. The company plans to revolutionize the car-buying process by setting up small stores in shopping areas, staffed by product experts and offering online ordering. They also plan to offer pick-up and return servicing, as well as a subscription plan that includes maintenance, insurance, and finance.
