Alex Knollenberg knows a thing or two about performance-driven EVs. Having owned the first three cars in the Polestar line-up, some might even call him an expert. We caught up with the Hoosier native at a recent track experience day in southern Sweden to discuss his love of driving, Polestar 3's unique handling, and why people keep stopping him in the street.

If you’ve ever seen a Polestar Engineered vehicle, you’ve probably noticed the badge – a subtle yet powerful emblem signifying that this is no ordinary car. That badge represents a commitment to enhancing performance and delivering an unparalleled driving experience through precision engineering. Born from Polestar’s roots in motorsport, Polestar Engineered is the culmination of years of research, testing, and passion, translating track performance into everyday driving.

It's time we talked about gas. No, not the type that spews from factories and tailpipes. The other kind. With livestock accounting for a significant percentage of global greenhouse gas emissions, agriculture lies at the heart of our changing world. Enter Sam Elsom, an Australian inventor, disruptor, and Polestar ambassador hellbent on upending the food industry — and changing the world as we know it.

In the heart of Wyoming's rugged landscape, a select group of automotive enthusiasts and journalists from the U.S. and Canada got behind the wheel of Polestar 3 to experience what this electric SUV brings to the table.

Every great leap forward in the automotive world started with a bold idea, a sketch, or a prototype — leading to an eye-catching concept car. These vehicles are far more than showpieces; they are the first glimpse into the future of travel, where design, technology, and imagination collide to shape the road ahead.

As wonderful as it would be, Polestar’s cars aren’t simply dreamt up, built, and ushered into showrooms ready to be driven away. Designers need to decide what they’ll look like, engineers need to work out how to make them do all the things you expect of them, and then specialists need to figure out how to match up the design and engineering. And that’s all before work can even begin on manufacturing. Every step of a car’s journey, from idea to tangibility, takes time, knowledge, and a lot of late nights and early mornings.

Confused by charging speeds? Baffled by V2G and other acronyms? In this series we simplify everything to do with the electric vehicle, kicking off with the sometimes overly complex world of EV charging.

Polestar is overflowing with passionate people. Some are excited by numbers, others about words. Some bolster innovation. And most are jazzed up to be part of the electric revolution. They could have been anywhere, but their path led them here. This is the first of a series of features about the people that fuel Polestar.

In this series, we aim to challenge some of the most common misconceptions surrounding the electric vehicle, starting with the notion that exterior design has become more homogenous as we move away from the internal combustion engine. Steve Potter, Exterior Design Manager at Polestar, thinks otherwise.
