Why does the article title say in the ar

I see the error of my ways...
I bought a cheap Microsoft keyboard and I am regretting it. No where near the quality of the old cheap one.

Looks like they're testing in Jokkmokk:

Jokkmokk is 5 km north of the Arctic Circle. Jokkmokk is near the Arctic Circle. Jokkmokk is also within the Arctic Circle.

Ah I see, the town is within the arctic circle but the facility is just outside (below).
Cold weather.

Here’s Why Polestar Engineers Test EVs in the Arctic Circle
To deflect the fact that Polestar are made in China. Some models are later to be assembled in USA with Chinese parts.

Considering US/China relations and a likely war between the two over Taiwan I don't see a long life ahead for "Volvo".
