The Polestar Precept was one of the first models unveiled as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold. Now, things begin to go back to normal, the automaker has confirmed that the Precept is set to join the Polestar stable as a production car.

Though the Polestar name may ring a bell, this isn’t the same brand it used to be. Polestar, now a division of Geely, is a Swedish electric performance brand that only recently brought the Polestar 1, its first auto, to market.

Along with a cabin filled with sustainable materials and an Android operating system, the Polestar was revealed featuring sleeker design features than the Polestar 1 and Polestar 2 models that currently complete the company’s lineup.

“‘Stunning. Spectacular. Cutting-edge. We’d like to see it on the road!’ – this is what the press wrote about Precept and the public said, ‘We want it’, so we decided to build it,” comments Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO.

“Consumers want to see change from this industry – not just dreams. Now, Precept becomes an even stronger statement. We are committed to reduce the environmental impact of our cars and our business. The aim has to be climate neutrality, even though I recognize that is a long-term goal.”

Further testing and product development of the Precept is currently underway. When it’s ready for production, the Precept will be produced in a new factory the company is building in China. The factory is designed to be carbon neutral and technologically intelligent.

“China is a home market for Polestar and we recognise the increasingly important drive for greater sustainability here,” continues Thomas Ingenlath, speaking at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition 2020. “With this new factory, we will again raise the bar, aiming to produce the most advanced and premium electric car in China with the lowest carbon footprint.”
