Polestar's CEO Michael Lohscheller said soaring fuel prices due to Middle East tensions have shifted consumer interest from 'range anxiety' to 'pump anxiety,' driving higher demand for electric vehicles (EVs). This change means buyers now prioritize cost savings over idealistic reasons when choosing EVs. Despite a $383 million net loss in Q1 due to pricing pressures and tariffs, Polestar sees a 7% volume increase year-on-year. The company also noted intense competition in China and uncertainty in the U.S. market, urging Europe to accelerate EV adoption amid rising oil prices above $100 per barrel.
