    Sweden's answer to Tesla

    Polestar (a Volvo company) have put the Polestar 1 & 2 into production - they look quite awesome.The Polestar 2 claiming 500km between charges and the quality a Volvo build, very interesting indeed. Especially the 15 minute charge time.

    If small Sweden can do this why can't the UK??? - Perhaps it's something to do with all those Media studies graduates.

                  The challenge Tesla are having is actually producing enough of them and keeping the quality up. So it's fine producing something like this in tiny numbers but actually becoming a serious player is a different matter.
