For the last round only Elfyn Evans has a chance to fight for the title against Sebastien Ogier, who confidently leads with a comfortable lead of 17 points.

And it’s a no brainer that in the 21st century we will switch to electric vehicles. But so far they are not so widespread and manufacturing companies are only startups. But Polestar competes with Tesla itself and for a reason.

In the early 2000s, Polestar was Volvo's tuning division that modified their car for circuit racing. Not Formula 1, but quite worthy. Until 2017, this is exactly what the company was doing - it was finalizing the cars of dear customers.

In 2017, the Chinese company Geely, the owner of Volvo and our heroes, decided it was time to get into electric cars. And she did it on the basis of Polestar. In 2018, the company showed its first creation - the Polestar 1 hybrid car. Polestar 2 was released in 2020 and in all respects was no worse than the famous Tesla. The company plans to compete with Porshe for the title of the best premium electric car manufacturer.

The company is already planning to go public, but not through an IPO, but through SPAC. Polestar will team up with Gores Guggenheim to give them at least $ 1 billion in annual revenues.

Volkswagen AG's main plant in Wolfsburg may face historically low production levels this year, and a faster transition to electric vehicles will be required to remain competitive, according to senior officials from the German automaker. The planned production of the electric vehicle, dubbed Trinity, is due to roll off the assembly lines in 2026, which is too late to ensure proper plant utilization.

It will need a faster transition to electric vehicles to remain competitive, according to senior union officials.

The head of VW's work council, Daniela Cavallo, complained that the average annual productivity at the Wolfsburg plant is lower than in the past 10 years. "The workers are becoming more and more concerned," he said. "They do not know of such long periods of short-term work."
