There's finally something the coronavirus pandemic hasn't canceled: the release of the Polestar 2024 Archives Volvo's all-electric sedan with a Google infotainment system.

Deliveries for the Chinese-owned Swedish car company's first ever electric vehicle will start in the U.S. this summer. The original Polestar 1, a plug-in hybrid sports car, came out in 2019 and costs more than $156,000 as a luxury ride. The hybrid was meant to show what was possible with electric before Volvo brought out the Polestar 2. Before any tax incentives and electric vehicle subsidy programs, the new four-door EV, the first car to have Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Google Play Store built into the vehicle, starts at $59,900. The newest EV will also start deliveries in Canada later this summer.

The 275-mile range EV is unique not just because of its connectivity, but also because it's actually arriving on time amid the outbreak.
