Polestar’s entry into the electric vehicle world took the top spot this past week on CleanTechnica, being the number one article viewed on CleanTechnica thanks to the hundreds of thousands of views it pulled in. The focus of the article was its pricing, which is surprisingly high. Yet again, it seems that a new “Tesla killer” just doesn’t compete with Tesla vehicles, even though it is a nice addition to the EV market and deserves solid sales.
Of course, with that non-Tesla story being #1, that means we had to wait all the way till the #2 spot for a Tesla story in the top 20 — oh, the patience required! Then Tesla swept the rest of the top 10, and almost the entire top 20. What’s so special about this California company? Scroll down to find out.
