The Polestar 2 model was the best-selling EV model in Australia during June with 201 units sold and the third one in the first half of the year (the arrival was in March), only behind Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Kona.
Recently, the largest U.S. EV subscription company Autonomy placed an order for 23,000 electric vehicles from 17 automakers including 200 Polestar 2 models.
The order with the Swedish EV manufacturer Polestar will generate $10.1 million of Revenue with an average cost of $50,500 per vehicle. Autonomy plans to “expand and diversify its subscription fleet” after starting its business with only Tesla models.
