# Polestar's Growth Journey: Exceeding Expectations in the EV Market
Written on
Chapter 1: Polestar's Impressive Trajectory
Polestar, the electric vehicle manufacturer, is making significant strides in its ambitious growth plans. While many emerging companies promise rapid evolution, few deliver as consistently as Polestar, which has been exceeding its growth targets impressively.
Awaiting the completion of a SPAC merger with Gores Guggenheim, Inc. (GGPI), anticipated by the end of the month, Polestar has been recognized for producing exceptional vehicles since its inception in 2017. The company reported a remarkable revenue of approximately $645 million in 2020, marking an impressive 600% growth compared to 2019. In 2021, Polestar sold 29,000 vehicles, reflecting a 185% year-over-year increase.
Polestar aims to sell 290,000 vehicles by 2025, including 160,000 EV SUVs. Rather than following conventional designs, the company seeks to create a distinctive driving experience that sets it apart from competitors, demonstrated through limited edition models and future offerings.
Yahoo! Finance has highlighted Polestar’s successful fulfillment of its ambitious targets, noting that:
- The company currently has over 32,000 reservations, a figure that has nearly tripled from the previous year. This total excludes the 65,000 vehicles recently contracted for rental with Hertz over the next five years.
- As of May, approximately 13,600 vehicles were sold in the first four months of 2022, which is nearly double the sales for the same period in 2021.
Polestar is also enhancing its global presence, with studios established in 25 markets and plans to reach 30 by the end of 2023. Italy and Israel are set to welcome Polestar by year’s end. Currently, there are 130 studios operating, with an additional 30 slated to open in the next six months.
With the upcoming launch of the Polestar 3 and 4 models in 2023 and 2024, the company is poised to enter the SUV segment, which dominated over half of all new vehicle sales in 2021.
Polestar's CEO Thomas Ingenlath recently expressed pride in the company's achievements, stating, "Operating in 25 countries, Polestar occupies a unique space in the EV sector. We are a genuine company, not merely a collection of promises. Over 55,000 Polestar vehicles are on the roads today, and we are set to unveil an impressive lineup of three new models over the next three years."
The company is also committed to reducing its carbon footprint, with aspirations to achieve complete carbon neutrality by 2040, including the production of a carbon-neutral vehicle by 2030, referred to as Polestar O.
