Europcar Mobility Group UK has expanded its electric vehicle rental fleet with the arrival of the Polestar 2 fastback.

The new addition builds on the successful introduction of the Polestar 4 earlier this year and enhances Europcar’s line-up of zero tailpipe-emission vehicles for business and leisure drivers across the UK.

The Polestar 2 saloon-cum-hatchback teams up minimalist Scandinavian design with engaging driving dynamics and sustainable approach. Recently revamped, it delivers a WLTP driving range of up to 344 miles alongside rapid charging capabilities.

Tom Middleditch, head of electric mobility at Europcar, said: “Following the enthusiastic reception to the Polestar 4 earlier this year, we are thrilled to further enhance our electric fleet with the addition of the Polestar 2.

“This vehicle perfectly embodies our goal of making electric driving accessible and appealing to a broader audience. Its combination of range, performance and distinctive design makes it an ideal vehicle for customers to experience the benefits of electric motoring in real-world conditions, whether for a short trip or a longer rental. Polestar’s dedication to electric performance aligns perfectly with Europcar’s vision for a sustainable future of mobility.”

Europcar’s convenient charging process means every electric vehicle is provided with a minimum 80% charge at the start of the rental and can be returned with as little as 20% battery charge, removing range anxiety or charging concerns.

“We are continuously expanding our portfolio of low and zero tailpipe emission vehicles,” Middleditch added. “With a comprehensive selection of vehicles, from compact models to luxury SUVs, we can cater for every journey requirement and the Polestar 2 complements the fleet perfectly, with its unique blend of performance and practicality.”
