Polestar SPAC Presentation Deck
Polestar independently decides what to
develop inhouse vs. "cherry-picking" from
partners - the combination allows Polestar to
focus on key differentiating technologies
whilst leveraging R&D from the larger Geely
Group (Volvo Cars, Geely and others) in a
flexible way
Purchasing and manufacturing center in
China works closely with R&D on daily basis
