Default Polestar 2

A lot of new EV's coming to the market. Volvo just announced the Polestar 2. Looks pretty competitive against the Model 3. No real charging network yet, but I'm sure this will come with time.

OK, I love Volvo, have for a long time. The new 4 banger engines turn me off a bit and their digi display is kinda laggy, but overall they are awesome.

But why the f*ck did they make their EV look like a damn AMC Eagle?

That's a bit of a stretch.

It's going to be a fun few years coming up, watching what lots of auto makers will come out with lots of new EVs. The luxury car makers are coming out with attractive EVs, which will push the non-luxury manufacturers (GM, Toyota, Nissan, VW, etc.) to come out with decent-looking, cheap, practical EVs for the masses. Can't wait; wish I could look 5 or 10 years into the future. I do think that they are making a mistake if they don't build and properly market/advertise PHEVs alongside BEVs, for those many (most?) consumers that will need a bridge to all-electric.
