Polestar, Lotus, Volvo — three brands majority owned by Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, and British luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover, have established an alliance on battery charging for electric vehicles in China. 

As members of the alliance, the four sides will share resources and jointly explore innovative energy replenishment solutions, Polestar said.
