Your vehicle can help us provide essential transportation services throughout Alaska, ensuring that those in need are not left behind due to transportation barriers.

Common models we see

Typical scenarios

Transitioning to a New Model

Many Alaskans upgrade their Polestar to the latest models. Donating your previous vehicle helps those who cannot afford reliable transportation while letting you focus on your new ride.

Downsizing Your Fleet

If your Polestar has been a cherished part of your life but you are now downsizing, donating allows it to continue making an impact. Every donation aids fellow Alaskans who need mobility options.

Moving Out of State

Relocating can be challenging, especially when it comes to vehicles. Donating your Polestar enables a smooth transition while helping those in need of transportation right here in Alaska.

Supporting Local Initiatives

By donating your Polestar, you play a vital role in supporting local programs that enhance mobility for underserved communities, contributing to a more equitable Alaska.

What affects donation value

The value of your Polestar donation hinges on various factors, including model rarity, condition, and market demand. Notably, models like the Polestar 1 are considered collector's items, thus enhancing their appraisal potential. Donors can benefit from IRS deductions, particularly when submitting Form 8283 for donations valued over $5,000. Leveraging the expertise of appraisers familiar with electric vehicles can ensure you receive maximum value for your generous contribution. Remember, your donation not only supports our organization but also promotes sustainability and responsible vehicle disposal.

Alaska context

In Alaska, Polestar owners face unique challenges such as cold-weather range derating that affects electric vehicles. Your donation helps ensure that Polestar drivers have access to reliable services and infrastructure, particularly in remote areas where EV charging may be limited. By supporting Alaska Wheels Forward, you’re contributing to a network that helps advance electric vehicle usage and accessibility across our vast state, enhancing community resilience and reducing carbon footprints.
