  "account": "The electric automaker Polestar unveiled its Formula 2030 concept today. This concept represents a new look for the brand, which was spun out of Volvo and is now owned by Geely. Polestar has been creating electric vehicles that combine modern minimalist design with impressive driving dynamics. However, due to the ownership of Geely being Chinese, Polestar vehicles are not currently available for purchase in the United States. This ban on Chinese-owned car brands has gained bipartisan support in Congress.\n\nThe Formula 2030 is approximately the same length as a Polestar 2, but features a low roofline. Its two-box shape resembles the Saab Aero-X, one of the final concepts from the Swedish automaker that is now defunct. Polestar has adopted Saab's legacy to some extent.\n\nThe rear lights of the Formula 2030 will be featured on production Polestar models. The concept car is positioned between the next Polestar 2 and the Polestar 7 in the company's numbering system, which organizes vehicles chronologically rather than by size. However, it remains unclear if the hatchback design will be produced in series. The primary focus of the Formula 2030 is its styling, rather than practical considerations like fitting rear seat passengers and a lithium-ion battery pack.",
