Polestar, the EV manufacturer often described as a "97-year-old start-up," is taking a distinctive approach in the electric vehicle market, differing significantly from Tesla's strategy.
In a recent interview, CEO Thomas Ingenlath reiterated Polestar's commitment to maintaining its premium identity rather than engaging in a price war for volume.
While many automakers pursue high volumes and cost-cutting measures, Polestar's focus remains firmly on delivering high-quality, luxury vehicles.
Ingenlath emphasized this commitment by highlighting the recent upgrade to the Polestar 2, which made the vehicle better and slightly more expensive, rather than compromising on quality to reduce costs.
While the success of this approach remains to be seen, Polestar has an exciting event, "Polestar Day," scheduled for later this year, where they will unveil innovations, partnerships, and future plans, hinting at the brand's expansion in the USA and beyond.
In an industry often focused on volume, Polestar's commitment to luxury and quality sets it apart as a unique player in the EV market.
