This Polestar 2 Is Built For Arctic Adventures!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In a UK exclusive, Jack heads to Swedish Lapland to check out Polestar's latest one-off creation - the 2 Arctic Circle - and meet the delightfully eccentric chap who built it. But what exactly is the point of bespoke builds like this, and how does spending several months a year sliding around an ice lake help Polestar build better road cars? Check out the video to find out!

We know it's not likely you'll be getting a Polestar Arctic Circle any time soon, but what about the Polestar 2? could it be the EV for you? tell us below..

No. Why? Because of the ownership conditions. Google: "I industriklenodens innersta maktrum" That will bring you to a news article from one of Swedens most reputable news papers - Svenska Dagbladet. In short: When Geely bought Volvo Cars (who owns Polestar) back in ~2009 - guess who shelled out more than 85% of the cash? You guessed it! The Chinese Military Dictatorship... Surreal? Yes. Very...

When doubters tell me "oh yeah, they all go very well in the summer, but they won't work in the winter. The cold will bugger up the batteries!" I just reply, "go tell that to the Norwegians..!"
I didn't know this video would be some of the best motoring content I've seen this year. The cinematography was superb and the drone shots with the car sliding made me feel like I was watching Top Gear back when it was the best motoring content you could ask for. It was informative, entertaining and a pleasure to watch. Impressed with Joakim's dedication to reducing suspension bushing noise as well, such commitment! Thank you Fully Charged Show for great content.

Love this video. Production quality is wonderful. The attention to detail from Polestar team is typically Scandinavian.
That was was a great episode. Polestar could offer this as an experience in conjunction with Fully Charged. " The Fully Charged Ice Racing Experience at the Arctic Circle" powered by Polestar

OK, Jack was great as usual, but I've got to say Joakim stole the show with his awesome driving, his knowledge and his fun attitude. And of course his wisdom: "s**t happens" Joakim needs to be a regular on Fully Charged now!
One of my favourite episodes to date. The Jackster on sublime form and a very slick production. Funny and fun. AND I WANT TO HAVE A GO!
I’ll take two please! What a glorious bit of beautifully shot, perfect (much needed) escapism - not to mention vital & valid scientific research. Jammy Jack on top form & Joakim may be my instant most favourite person ever! Really enjoyed that! Well done all 👏 👏👏👏 .
Jack, you are the jammiest GIT who ever lived. It really does help!
VIDEOGRAPHY: 10, EDITING: 10, SCRIPT: 10, TALENT: 10!
Jack's commitment to streetwear shows no signs of slowing down, while most of us might have gone for a pair of Adidas Terrex or a some Salomons to climb up a snowy slope at -18C, he's still wearing AF1 lows (I think the winterised ones, but still) and showing off his freezing ankles. Good work sir, good work.
Brilliantly entertaining. The production values are off-the-scale good.
Loved it! The prettiest EV content on the interwebs. Also got to love a bit of Swedish winter rallying in a Polestar, so nice 👌💜
Hi Jack, another excellent video. I particularly liked watching you improve on the ice and get so much pleasure from doing it. Very well done...
I live at the bottom of New Zealand, which isn't quite as cold as the arctic, or the antarctic, but it gets pretty damn chilly down here. It's full of stale, pale and male people who dis EVs with every breath, so seeing this car run rings around an ice lake makes me warm inside. Thank you!
Is there anything more satisfying than when a Swedish man says “shliding”?
This guy is my absolute favourite Fully Charged guest. Joachim.? I love him!
Wow, Top Gear eat your heart out! That was outstanding - production quality, presentation, Jack's quirky humour. Loved it!
What absolute fun that would be. And it is the perfect car to be hacking around in the Article Circle. No noise and no fumes.
By far my favorite video from Fully Charged. That's quite a high bar to surpass given the quality of the content on this channel. Great work Jack and team!
Jack - a real asset, especially the clothing style - I´m absolutely into it
Jack, you really are the jammiest git that ever did live. It really does help. Love your work 👍
In a world that is changing so fast right now, these are really beautiful images of something good that will soon come to us.
It would be really cool if polestar made a few of these as a limited edition, with the current SUV craze, they might even sell pretty well.

There's a rumour there will be a Polestar 2 BST with some special upgrades, based on "The Beast" which is a special one-off development car.
Jack, you are the jammiest GIT who ever lived. It really does help.
Another light-hearted report from Jack. Breath of fresh air without the ranting :)
This is Polestar and this is how you design a true performance EV. No other EV company goes to this extremes. That's why I bought one!
Jack you are the jammiest git who ever lived. It really does help.
As a Polestar 2 owner living in South Florida, I'll have to drift in snow vicariously through this fine video.

He’s a damn mad man and I love him for it. Polestar is the best of the best. It’s people like “the chassis mad man” who make polestar great.

Great story, great images, great conversation! Thank you!
Jack, amazing show as always and an amazing vehicle.
Jack! You are the grittiest JAM that ever lived. 😏😆 Adore a great and funny Jack video. Happy to be a FC member. 🥰❄️☃️
That looked like so much fun. Jack you really are the luckiest git alive! When my Polestar 2 lands in Australia next month, I don't imagine I'll find much snow to go drifting in.
The camera work in this video is incredible. Some absolutely amazing shots 😍😍😍
Fin filmatisering av Car review i makalösa nordliga Sverige! Thanks Fully Charged keep up the this quality, marvellous!
Jack, I'm going to wait until this time next year in Sydney to hopefully tell you to your face "you are one of the luckiest guys in the world"! Great videos thanks.
Joakim, you are really enjoyable to watch and listen to here and also on the Nurnburg Ring, Polestar should give you a marketing promotion since you’re a great marketing resource for the brand! We want to see more special Polestar footage! 👍😀👍

Jack you are the jammiest... Lol... But really it doesn't get any more real than this. Your expression gave away what all was going on!!! Yes the whole experience does show /give away through your expressions and your well... expressive self! Thank you for a brilliant review...
Informative and entertaining consumer TV, as usual!
I want a beautiful quality electric car that does well in every imaginable circumstance. The Polestar 2 honestly is my dream car.
As a Canadian fan of the channel, this kind of testing is what I care about. When you are in that snow storm heading home some place plow and salt truck won't get too for a couple hours you want your car to handle on ice. (without the studs) We take new rural drivers out to ice covered parking lots to get the "feel" of ice. Perhaps we can we borrow that Polestar this year?
As a Canadian still dealing with several feet of snow in late-March, bring this to market, Polestar!
What a couple of days that must have been. Superb video. Loved it.
Jack, you are the jammiest GIT who ever lived. It really does help 🤪
I have never been so envious. Such great video and what a experience!
Jack, brilliant. You are ready for WRC!
They should name Cars more like the ARTIC Circle edition. Sounds Cooool. 🥶🥶
A very enjoyable video, thanks.
What fun, I mean what a great technical and mechanical test sequence for diagnostic purposes and product improvement!
Good way to show these things really work up here.
Great show every episode very informative Thank you to all the team
Used to love snow and ice driving. Must be amazing in an EV. Nicely done Jack 🖖
Its really cool that the channel is getting these opportunities
Things like this are what turn a brand from one you respect into one you really like. I love that Polestar can just have fun with things like this, as you'd expect from a former racing team. Very eccentric, very beautiful, very Swedish.
Some people get all the fun!..... Lucky Jack!!!
Best Fully Charged episode to date? I think so!
One of, if not THE best episode so far. Awesome work folks 👏
That was fun to watch. Thank you.
I can tell you enjoyed that , what a day , enjoyed even watching that , keep up the good work dude!
Amazing content, the quality of the filming, production and presenting, keep up the great work!
It was a well made video. Another entertaining episode. Awesome job for entire crew and host.
Fantastic video! Thanks a million!
Brilliant camera work, fantastic location!! Well done Jack!!
Awesome video 😎 Huge fan of the artic circle P2 and was amazing to see it slide around the track
One of your best Jack!
Great episode. Always fun watching Jack :)
his is my favourite video on this Chanel, really good content, truly loved it
Jack you have way too much fun. I'm jealous. Hope you are planning to be at the in person event in the US.
Had a smile the whole video, great content!
I also want to say that of all the not quite SUV SUV’s - the CUV’s, crossovers, elevated ride height sedan/hatch body styles this is the most successful
this is a dream. the car the presentation the cinematography
Great fun! Thanks
That looks so much fun.

This is one of the best if not the best car video I have ever seen. I almost never put likes on videos becuase I forgot but god does this deserve it.
Great stuff! Great show!🇨🇦
This is so cool!! I'm a big fan of Polestar and wish I could have an experience like that! Looks like it was an amazing experience. Also, great job with the production quality of this episode, really top notch!
Great episode! I am English, but live in Southern Canada which redefines winter! We regularly go below -15c, This year we hit -24c on a number of days and have had over 5 ft of snow… so thanks Polestar we need the winter testing where the winters are… a little bit more wintery! Polestar is setting up nicely for North America. Btw -24 is not unusual, we have had -43c lol.
Brilliant production and content lads. Mix of everything. A sexy EV with superb visual identity and detailing. Funny host. Confident (brave!) instructor. Stunning location. Great driving, by both really considering. Drama! Intense sound track. Pro grade videography. And a very good pitch for Polestar, the less hyped but very well designed EV with few flaws.
So jealous that you got to do this! Particularly loved when you yawned as you were being driven around sideways by Joakim ☺️ A really enjoyable episode!

I’d recon I’m a pretty normal person but my cars see -35 at least a couple days a year because I’m in Canada. Their extensive cold weather testing would make me very confident to purchase one for use here in Canada.
