Thomas Ingenlath resigns, having led the EV firm since its formation seven years ago
The CEO of Polestar, Thomas Ingenlath, has resigned after seven years, to be replaced by former Opel/Vauxhall boss Michael Lohscheller. Ex-designer Ingenlath was appointed to lead Polestar when it was hived off from its Swedish parent Volvo as a standalone EV brand in mid-2017. During his seven-year stewardship of the firm, he has overseen the launch of four production cars in 27 global markets, the public listing of the company and the opening of several new production sites.
"And we made it, the dream became reality: Polestar is the only true global premium electric brand, we just launched the Polestar 3 and 4, we are producing on two continents – thank you to everybody who contributed so far on this journey, it was a lifetime experience to build up this brand with you all. I wish Michael and the team the best for the next chapter of Polestar.” He did not give an official reason for his departure, nor any indication of his future intentions.
