Polestar’s first electric SUV, the Polestar 3, is expected to begin rolling out in the US in the next few months. Ahead of its debut, Polestar is already offering a massive $7,500 purchase incentive on a lease of the new electric SUV.

The Polestar 3 will join the Polestar 2 as the brand’s second all-electric model. Nearly 55,000 Polestar 2 sedans were sold last year, but the company expects its electric SUV to make an even bigger impact.

Although production was expected to begin in early 2023, Polestar pushed it back until the first quarter of this year. Polestar’s website suggests deliveries will begin in the second quarter.

If you want something cheaper the polestar 2 starts at 49k with 320 miles of range.

That's closer! I'm (excitedly) waiting for the day to get a new EV at around 20-25k and 100 miles range. Until then, I'll probably ride my 2016 Nissan Leaf into the ground. It still gets 75 miles, which is good enough for almost everything.

You should keep you eye on hertz used cars, they are dumping loads of basically new EVs for around 25k.

$20k-$25k for any new car is pretty hard to come by these days.

Volvo ex-30 will be cheap. Do note that all polestars and volvo ex-30 are currently made in China. Eventually, the ex-30 will be made in Belgium though.
