Apparently Polestar's goal is to go against Porsche, so I guess that's maybe a level higher than Volvo themselves, but I do agree its weird that they would have a separate brand for EV's when Volvo themselves have been talking about going EV only for years now. I think honestly they should have kept Polestar as the performance division.

Yeah hard to say, only time will tell. They probably felt the Volvo name does not have the brand cachet to compete in the realm of Porsche and beyond.
