As far as the company’s vehicle is concerned, most that I’ve seen on the Polestar 2 can be summarized as “solid if unspectacular.” The company obviously got its inspiration from pioneer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). It is trying to replicate the overall “vibe” of its competitor’s vehicles. In fact, the Polestar 2 is targeted to be a direct competitor of the Tesla Model 3. The Polestar 2 Is a Solid Vehicle Even if it’s not the most enticing vehicle, Polestar’s main selling proposition is that it is trying to make reliable cars without relying on gimmicks. While YouTubers get a kick out of “powertrain modes” and calculating 0-60mph times, Polestar management is just focused on building a dependable car. The car even uses an old-fashioned key that you need to enter and turn to start the vehicle. It feels very old-fashioned now, especially in the EV industry. According to Topgear’s review of the vehicle: “We love the Polestar 2 because it’s handsome, the build quality will give Audi drivers PTSD, and there’s a real sense of common sense about the car – that it’s been designed to work seamlessly, not to wow you with gimmicks then wind you up further down the line.” While not all reviewers love the Polestar 2 design, most appreciate its practicality. Polestar Is a Good Alternative to Tesla Polestar has a few advantages over its rivals because of its business relationships, and this is part of the appeal to GGPI stock. For example, the company is jointly owned by Volvo and its parent company Geely (a major OEM in the Chinese market). Geely has a full-year sales target for 2022 of 1.65 million vehicles. The vast majority of these vehicles are sold in China but the company is making a push to other Asian markets as well. I suspect Polestar would not have as many production issues as many of its start-up rivals given the backing of two major OEMs. Recall that even Tesla had to go through some very painful “growing pains” as it ramped up its scale. Polestar would be able to produce a solid build car right from the get-go by relying on the manufacturing capabilities and expertise of its parent companies. This manufacturing capability is seen in the pricing of the Polestar 2. The single-motor version of the Polestar will retail for $47,200. Furthermore, unlike Tesla, Polestar qualifies for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. This makes the Polestar significantly cheaper than the Tesla Model 3, which starts at $48,190 and is no longer eligible for a tax credit. Bottom Line on GGPI Stock The Polestar is certainly shaping up to be a contender in the EV space. Now that the deal is about to finally close you can see GGPI stock start to form a solid base. There’s a chance that GGPI could pop once the deal closes. Either way, over the long term, I see Polestar emerging as a contender in the EV space. This is one EV company to keep an eye on

Macron calls for ban on Russian oil and coal, Germany discusses gas sanctions Apr. 04, 2022 8:59 AM ETEQNR, VET, NRT, SHEL, XOM, LNG, WHITF, BTU, ARLP Disturbing reports from Ukraine over the weekend prompted EU leaders to address the prospect of further Russian sanctions, including energy sanctions. France's Macron called for a ban on Russian oil and coal imports. While Germany's defense minister said Sunday that the EU must discuss banning the import of Russian gas. Germany's Economy Minister Habeck said if gas is unavailable, Germany could fall back on coal in the short term. Italy's minister of foreign affairs Di Maio indicated that Italy would not veto sanctions on Russia gas. Conversely, Austria's minister of foreign affairs Alexander Schallenberg said, "Austria won't back EU embargos on Russian gas." And Swedish state-run utility Vattenfall planned to continue paying for Russian gas in Euros. While a meeting between US LNG producers and European gas consumers Thursday in Berlin showed muted interest in long-term LNG contracts, as Europeans were reluctant to commit to contracts that could set back the continent's energy transition. Setting aside forward looking statements, several actions were taken over the weekend that will impact markets. The Yamal natural gas pipeline between Russia and Germany was shut, again. Lithuania ended Russian gas purchases "from this month on" and called on the rest of the EU to do the same. Meanwhile, Latvia and Estonia began drawing on gas inventories, and stopped Russian gas purchases for the time being. In France, cold weather and reduced nuclear power resulted in the Government calling on companies and local authorities to reduce energy consumption, as power prices nearly doubled. Since the war in Ukraine began, Western leaders have encouraged the continued flow of Russian energy to global markets. Even so, oil, natural gas, coal and power prices have hit near-record levels in Europe and around the world. To the extent increased violence in Ukraine leads to Russian energy sanctions, energy prices globally would no doubt see new records in 2022. Investors are sure to remain focused on discussions of Russian energy sanctions. Shareholders of domestic gas producers like Equinor (EQNR), Vermillion (VET) and NRT (NRT) are positioned to benefit directly from higher European energy prices. While LNG producers like Shell (SHEL), Exxon (XOM) and Cheniere (LNG) also stand to benefit from increased gas prices. Though thermal coal producers like Whitehaven (OTCPK:WHITF), Peabody (BTU) and Alliance (ARLP) could be the biggest beneficiaries of Russian energy sanctions, as European nations fall back on coal for power generation.
