The future is electric — just ask Gregor Hembrough, President of Polestar USA, a Swedish, electric vehicle company rapidly growing across the US. Initially launched as a high-performance unit within Volvo, Polestar’s vehicles are as thoughtful as they are beautiful; not just the design of the surface details, but the sustainable technology that lives under the hood. Gregor explores Polestar’s origin story, detailing how a company dependent on gasoline pivoted to electric and identified a gap in the marketplace it was designed to fill. Along the way, he exposes the biggest challenges the EV business faces, and how Polestar is uniquely positioned to fuel the future with their commitment to sustainability, technology and design. So hop in, buckle your seatbelt and listen as Ashish and Gregor dish on all things EV.
