This promise from the Swedish manufacturer Polestar, decidedly very eloquent in recent weeks, could revolutionize the automotive market.
Following up with numbers like other manufacturers string together disappointments, Polestar is shaking up the electric car market at a pace previously only known by Tesla. The first Polestar Day, the manufacturer’s major annual event, not only gave the world the chance to see for the first time the exterior design of the large sedan 5, but also to discover the latest 3 and 4 models that will soon be on sale. With the Polestar 2, this will increase the company’s series production cars from one to three in very little time!
It was also an opportunity for the dynamic manufacturer to present the XFC technology known as “100 in 5”, which means that the Polestar 5 will only need to be plugged in for five minutes to gain an additional 100 miles of range, or precisely 160.9 km.
Polestar has partnered with StoreDot, a developer of lithium-ion batteries, to scale this XFC technology to production. A new energy storage cell enables rapid recharging of the battery. This is very short-term technology as the manufacturer aims to present a market-ready prototype by 2024.
The Polestar 5 will be the flagship GT of the lineup. Designed to compete with the Porsche Taycan, the Audi e-tron GT, and the Tesla Model S, the 5 will produce up to 874 hp and will feature an 800-volt electric architecture that allows for equally rapid charging times.
