Though EV startup Polestar is already planning the Polestar 5, it’s still making consistent improvements to its current-gen model, the Polestar 2. Today the company announced a number of slight, but notable changes to the Polestar 2, including increased use of the blockchain for tracking production materials.
Polestar has been working with blockchain company Circulator for about a year now to provide transparency around the shipping of minerals needed for the production of its vehicles. The cobalt used in Polestar 2 batteries was the first material tracked in this manner; now Polestar will be tracking its shipments of mica via the blockchain, too.
