For those wondering, here's a look at how eco-friendly (or not) the Polestar 2 is over entire life cycle:
"So just how eco-friendly is the Polestar 2 EV? Well, it leaves the factory with a 26-tonne carbon footprint, which is more than you’d get on a Volvo XC40 with an internal combustion engine – this is mainly due to the energy-intensive battery production process.

Once the vehicle reaches the customer, further damage to the environment becomes negligible, says Polestar, and after driving it for 50,000 km (31,000 miles), it becomes more environmentally-friendly than the internal combustion engine model as far as total greenhouse gases go.
With various car brands using different calculations for Life Cycle Assessments, the Swedish brand is proud to share its entire methodology, and you can read the full analysis for the Polestar 2 by clicking here."
