To stop this from happening the EX90 will feature sensors integrated in the overhead console, roof-mounted reading lamps and the trunk that can detect sub-millimeter movement, this includes the breathing patterns of a child.
It is also likely that Polestar will join its parent in offering bi-directional charging capability. Not doing so would be out of character for the 5-year-old brand, which has frequently chided rivals because of their slow transition away from combustion cars.
“With just 1.5 percent of the vehicles on the road being electric today, it is clear we are living in an EV bubble, not an EV boom,” Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath said in a release. “We need governments to lead the charge with robust policies, both on infrastructure and addressing electricity prices so that drivers can confidently go electric, but more importantly, car makers must act now and not wait for policy changes.”
Although the EX90 and Polestar 3 will share a lot of tech under their skins, Ingenlath told Automotive News Europe earlier this year that once the premium large SUVs are seen side by side on the road “it will be so obvious to everyone that the offer is very different.”
“The aim of the Polestar range is to be sportier and to have a stronger focus on the driver,” Ingenlath said. “It will also have a more daring design.”
Polestar has the green light to show its model first. The Polestar 3 will make its world debut on Wednesday.
The world will have about a month to determine the visible differences between two SUV as Volvo says it will not share images of the EX90 until Nov. 9.
