"The Polestar 2 roadshow encompasses a mix of unique brand experiences in major cities across the West Coast of the United States as well as Canada. The events will provide visitors with an immersive demonstration of the first fully electric car from the Volvo Car Group. The Polestar team will welcome the public to experience the vehicle’s unique features and interior space, including the first in-car infotainment system powered by Android, which includes the Google Assistant, Google Maps with support for electric vehicle charging and the Google Play Store."

North America is one of the biggest markets for the Polestar 2, according to Gregor Hembrough, Head of Polestar in the Americas:

“Anticipation for the Polestar 2 is high in North America with the bulk of the initial orders coming from this region. This is the first opportunity for the general public to engage with the Polestar 2 in this part of the world, and we expect these modern cities to embrace the first 100% electric car from Polestar.”
