No. Why? Because of the ownership conditions. Google: "I industriklenodens innersta maktrum" That will bring you to a news article from one of Swedens most reputable news papers - Svenska Dagbladet.

Robert, you said if you want to subscribe the button is there; I have been subscribed to Fully Charged since 2016 and I still love the videos and enthusiasm that you bring to the channel.
When doubters tell me "oh yeah, they all go very well in the summer, but they won't work in the winter. The cold will bugger up the batteries!" I just reply, "go tell that to the Norwegians..!"
I didn't know this video would be some of the best motoring content I've seen this year. The cinematography was superb and the drone shots with the car sliding made me feel like I was watching Top Gear back when it was the best motoring content you could ask for. It was informative, entertaining and a pleasure to watch. Impressed with Joakim's dedication to reducing suspension bushing noise as well, such commitment! Thank you Fully Charged Show for great content.
That was was a great episode. Polestar could offer this as an experience in conjunction with Fully Charged. " The Fully Charged Ice Racing Experience at the Arctic Circle" powered by Polestar
OK, Jack was great as usual, but I've got to say Joakim stole the show with his awesome driving, his knowledge and his fun attitude. And of course his wisdom: "s**t happens" Joakim needs to be a regular on Fully Charged now!
I’ll take two please! What a glorious bit of beautifully shot, perfect (much needed) escapism - not to mention vital & valid scientific research. Jammy Jack on top form & Joakim may be my instant most favourite person ever! Really enjoyed that! Well done all 👏 👏👏👏 .
Jack's commitment to streetwear shows no signs of slowing down, while most of us might have gone for a pair of Adidas Terrex or a some Salomons to climb up a snowy slope at -18C, he's still wearing AF1 lows (I think the winterised ones, but still) and showing off his freezing ankles. Good work sir, good work.
I live at the bottom of New Zealand, which isn't quite as cold as the arctic, or the antarctic, but it gets pretty damn chilly down here. It's full of stale, pale and male people who dis EVs with every breath, so seeing this car run rings around an ice lake makes me warm inside. Thank you!
By far my favorite video from Fully Charged. That's quite a high bar to surpass given the quality of the content on this channel. Great work Jack and team!
That looked like so much fun. Jack you really are the luckiest git alive! When my Polestar 2 lands in Australia next month, I don't imagine I'll find much snow to go drifting in.
As a Canadian fan of the channel, this kind of testing is what I care about. When you are in that snow storm heading home some place plow and salt truck won't get too for a couple hours you want your car to handle on ice. (without the studs) We take new rural drivers out to ice covered parking lots to get the "feel" of ice. Perhaps we can we borrow that Polestar this year?
Joakim, you are really enjoyable to watch and listen to here and also on the Nurnburg Ring, Polestar should give you a marketing promotion since you’re a great marketing resource for the brand! We want to see more special Polestar footage! 👍😀👍
Jack, I'm going to wait until this time next year in Sydney to hopefully tell you to your face "you are one of the luckiest guys in the world"! Great videos thanks.
Things like this are what turn a brand from one you respect into one you really like. I love that Polestar can just have fun with things like this, as you'd expect from a former racing team. Very eccentric, very beautiful, very Swedish.
Jack you are the jammiest... Lol... But really it doesn't get any more real than this. Your expression gave away what all was going on!!! Yes the whole experience does show /give away through your expressions and your well... expressive self! Thank you for a brilliant review...
I also want to say that of all the not quite SUV SUV’s - the CUV’s, crossovers, elevated ride height sedan/hatch body styles this is the most successful
So jealous that you got to do this! Particularly loved when you yawned as you were being driven around sideways by Joakim ☺️ A really enjoyable episode!
Brilliant production and content lads. Mix of everything. A sexy EV with superb visual identity and detailing. Funny host. Confident (brave!) instructor. Stunning location. Great driving, by both really considering. Drama! Intense sound track. Pro grade videography. And a very good pitch for Polestar, the less hyped but very well designed EV with few flaws.
Great episode! I am English, but live in Southern Canada which redefines winter! We regularly go below -15c, This year we hit -24c on a number of days and have had over 5 ft of snow… so thanks Polestar we need the winter testing where the winters are… a little bit more wintery! Polestar is setting up nicely for North America. Btw -24 is not unusual, we have had -43c lol.
As a Saskatchewan resident who desperately wants to get an electric car but whose main concern with one is the effects of extreme winter on the vehicle, I'm glad to see a company actually doing winter testing in temperatures that I will most certainly see.
I’d recon I’m a pretty normal person but my cars see -35 at least a couple days a year because I’m in Canada. Their extensive cold weather testing would make me very confident to purchase one for use here in Canada.
Well, I'm sold. My one concern with EVs was cold weather performance as my friends with Teslas have had horrible experiences with them in the cold. I actually saw this thing in the wild about a month ago and couldn't figure out what it was called. I just gave up looking for and wrote it off as a European import. That was untill I was forced to look at EVs as I drive long distances for my company and happened to see it. I was sold when I saw it; it has vibes straight out of the 80s and is very reminiscent of my old 240DL. Now I'm definitely sold. That thing looks like a blast!

@@angela1984a True and also its not a kombi and looks like a SAAB
Polestar 2 is top of my list for an EV car. Gorgeous looking and practical.
@@randomreviewzYou're right, that makes up for the ownership part. ;)
Jack, you are the jammiest GIT who ever lived. It really does help
He's also unnecessarily tall 😅
What Mr Skippy said.
… the channel
Doubters: These things won't work in the cold. Polstar: Shhhh i'm in the boot listening for odd noises while we drift this thing round the arctic.
Joakim gonna Joakim.
Best comment I've ever read on the internet. Almost made me smile more than the video 🤣
When doubters tell me "oh yeah, they all go very well in the summer, but they won't work in the winter. The cold will bugger up the batteries!" I just reply, "go tell that to the Norwegians..!"

Thank you Fully Charged Show for great content.
And yet they managed to miss Jack gobbing it into a snow drift? As if THAT wasn't going to happen! 🤣
Was going to give your comment a like, as I agree 100% with you, but you had 69 likes and it wouldn't feel right...
The production quality of this was outstanding! Props to the team and, of course, Jack's Oscar worthy performance... well until he crashed lol
Yes -- this. Cinematic and just brilliant.
Great man! Even you crashed his car, he was so calm)))
He made me do it!
Love this video. Production quality is wonderful. The attention to detail from Polestar team is typically Scandinavian.
That was was a great episode. Polestar could offer this as an experience in conjunction with Fully Charged. " The Fully Charged Ice Racing Experience at the Arctic Circle" powered by Polestar
Great idea...Many would drop by 😀

One of my favourite episodes to date. The Jackster on sublime form and a very slick production. Funny and fun. AND I WANT TO HAVE A GO!
Brilliantly entertaining. The production values are off-the-scale good.
Hi Jack, another excellent video. I particularly liked watching you improve on the ice and get so much pleasure from doing it.
Very well done...
This guy is my absolute favourite Fully Charged guest. Joachim.? I love him!
Loved it! The prettiest EV content on the interwebs. Also got to love a bit of Swedish winter rallying in a Polestar, so nice 👌💜
Jack's commitment to streetwear shows no signs of slowing down, while most of us might have gone for a pair of Adidas Terrex or a some Salomons to climb up a snowy slope at -18C, he's still wearing AF1 lows (I think the winterised ones, but still) and showing off his freezing ankles.

Is there anything more satisfying than when a Swedish man says “shliding”?
Jack, amazing show as always and an amazing vehicle.
Jack, you really are the jammiest git that ever did live. It really does help.
Love your work 👍
Jack you are the jammiest git who ever lived. It really does help.
Wow, Top Gear eat your heart out! That was outstanding - production quality, presentation, Jack's quirky humour. Loved it!
The camera work in this video is incredible. Some absolutely amazing shots 😍😍😍
By far my favorite video from Fully Charged. That's quite a high bar to surpass given the quality of the content on this channel. Great work Jack and team!
Great story, great images, great conversation! Thank you!
Another light-hearted report from Jack. Breath of fresh air without the ranting :)
It would be really cool if polestar made a few of these as a limited edition, with the current SUV craze, they might even sell pretty well.
There's a rumour there will be a Polestar 2 BST with some special upgrades, based on "The Beast" which is a special one-off development car.
Fin filmatisering av Car review i makalösa nordliga Sverige! Thanks Fully Charged keep up the this quality, marvellous!
Informative and entertaining consumer TV, as usual!
As a Polestar 2 owner living in South Florida, I'll have to drift in snow vicariously through this fine video.
Perhaps we could make you a track out of... alligators?
@@JackScarlett1 Or out of slow drivers on the highway? I've already played that game.
Jack - a real asset, especially the clothing style - I´m absolutely into it
That looked like so much fun. Jack you really are the luckiest git alive! When my Polestar 2 lands in Australia next month, I don't imagine I'll find much snow to go drifting in.
In a world that is changing so fast right now, these are really beautiful images of something good that will soon come to us.
Jack, you are the jammiest GIT who ever lived. It really does help. You did it Jack, - and it Matters.

What absolute fun that would be. And it is the perfect car to be hacking around in the Article Circle. No noise and no fumes.
Jack! You are the grittiest JAM that ever lived. 😏😆
Adore a great and funny Jack video. Happy to be a FC member. 🥰❄️☃️
Joakim, you are really enjoyable to watch and listen to here and also on the Nurnburg Ring, Polestar should give you a marketing promotion since you’re a great marketing resource for the brand! We want to see more special Polestar footage! 👍😀👍
Joakim is the man. We'll get him back on the channel as soon as we get another excuse to!
@@JackScarlett1 Well, they are forecasting snow this week...
What a Gent, Jack smacks his new toy and research project into a snow drift, shrugs it off like it was a spilt drink!
What a couple of days that must have been. Superb video. Loved it.
Jack, your eyes are SENSATIONAL! 😜 That's got to be better than being called a GIT. 🤭 Love you channel and your reviews. Thanks
A very enjoyable video, thanks.
As a Canadian still dealing with several feet of snow in late-March, bring this to market, Polestar!
Great show every episode very informative Thank you to all the team
Jack, I'm going to wait until this time next year in Sydney to hopefully tell you to your face "you are one of the luckiest guys in the world"! Great videos thanks.
He’s a damn mad man and I love him for it. Polestar is the best of the best. It’s people like “the chassis mad man” who make polestar great.
Jack, you are the jammiest GIT who ever lived. It really does help 🤪
Jack, brilliant. You are ready for WRC!
Good way to show these things really work up here.
Brilliant camera work, fantastic location!! Well done Jack!!
One of your best Jack!
I have never been so envious. Such great video and what a experience!
I want a beautiful quality electric car that does well in every imaginable circumstance.
The Polestar 2 honestly is my dream car.
This is Polestar and this is how you design a true performance EV. No other EV company goes to this extremes. That's why I bought one!
They should name Cars more like the ARTIC Circle edition. Sounds Cooool. 🥶🥶
VIDEOGRAPHY: 10, EDITING: 10, SCRIPT: 10, TALENT: 10!
What fun, I mean what a great technical and mechanical test sequence for diagnostic purposes and product improvement!
Things like this are what turn a brand from one you respect into one you really like. I love that Polestar can just have fun with things like this, as you'd expect from a former racing team. Very eccentric, very beautiful, very Swedish.
Used to love snow and ice driving. Must be amazing in an EV. Nicely done Jack 🖖
Best Fully Charged episode to date? I think so!
Jack you are the jammiest... Lol... But really it doesn't get any more real than this. Your expression gave away what all was going on!!! Yes the whole experience does show /give away through your expressions and your well... expressive self!
Thank you for a brilliant review...
Jack, you are the GITTIEST JAM. Learned and laughed a lot from your video 👍😄
I also want to say that of all the not quite SUV SUV’s - the CUV’s, crossovers, elevated ride height sedan/hatch body styles this is the most successful
It was a well made video. Another entertaining episode. Awesome job for entire crew and host.
So jealous that you got to do this! Particularly loved when you yawned as you were being driven around sideways by Joakim ☺️ A really enjoyable episode!
It was more of a silent scream. Glad you enjoyed!
It reminded me of a dog's nervous yawn 😜
his is my favourite video on this Chanel, really good content, truly loved it
Great stuff! Great show!🇨🇦
Jack you have way too much fun. I'm jealous. Hope you are planning to be at the in person event in the US.
That looks so much fun.
It was!
Amazing content, the quality of the filming, production and presenting, keep up the great work!
Its really cool that the channel is getting these opportunities
I really want to see the paddles and a HUD added. I really appreciate the cold-weather driving exposition given here.
Brilliant production and content lads. Mix of everything. A sexy EV with superb visual identity and detailing. Funny host. Confident (brave!) instructor. Stunning location.

This is one of the best if not the best car video I have ever seen. I almost never put likes on videos becuase I forgot but god does this deserve it.
So, Robert goes to sunny Spain, and Jack goes to northern Europe. Someone was definitely pulling rank!! Great videos, as always!
😂 I'm not complaining
I'm in love with the design of that car. A very refined rally car. Jeg elsker dit!
"Drain the battery" - sounds like the evil twin channel of fully charged - I'd subscribe
Great show in the very cold weather, also good driving
it is cold, but not very cold for that area.
I’d recon I’m a pretty normal person but my cars see -35 at least a couple days a year because I’m in Canada. Their extensive cold weather testing would make me very confident to purchase one for use here in Canada.
I can tell you enjoyed that , what a day , enjoyed even watching that , keep up the good work dude!
One of, if not THE best episode so far. Awesome work folks 👏

Beautifully filmed and Jack 🤣
Have one ordered for delivery in September. This and the laps around the Nürburgring have got me very excited.
Great fun! Thanks
Some people get all the fun!..... Lucky Jack!!!
I was waiting to see the fine print across the bottom, "Professional host. Closed course. Do not try this at home." Well done Jack!
I don't know about professional host but it was definitely a closed course!
@@JackScarlett1 Either way, we knew we were drawing the line at professional driver... :-P
Best job in the world! :D
Love the soundtrack
Really great video team Fully Charged, well done 👏
Not 100% convinced on fully electric vehicles yet, but you guys are certainly driving me in that direction - it is getting very close.
Had a smile the whole video, great content!
Enjoyed that, thanks!
That was fun to watch. Thank you.
Awesome video 😎 Huge fan of the artic circle P2 and was amazing to see it slide around the track
Jack, you are the jammiest GIT who ever lived.
Cheers,, 🍻😎👍
Great video and a welcome reprieve to the current misery in the world, if even just for a moment. Well done Jack and crew.
Thanks 👍
That's really great to hear mate
