The electric future of automotive with Samantha Johnson from Polestar

In our first podcast episode of our new podcast, Legally Consumed, our CIE Legal hosts take a peek under the hood into Polestar, a new entrant into the Australian automotive industry that exclusively produces electric vehicles (EVs). Joining us for this inaugural podcast episode is Samantha Johnson, Managing Director of Polestar Automotive Australia, who shares her professional journey from the mailroom at Ernst and Young to the boardroom at Polestar.

This episode explores Polestar’s foundation in sustainability and how they consider the environment in all aspects of their strategy while highlighting the urgency for the National Electric Vehicle strategy and nationwide infrastructure changes.

Samantha shares the importance of adaptability and innovation and how they have helped drive Polestar’s rapid growth since its entrance to the Australian industry just over two years ago. She also discusses the legal intricacies of setting up operations in Australia due to regulation disparities between states.

If you’re interested in how EVs are driving changes in the automotive industry now and in the future, or are simply intrigued to hear more about launching innovative consumer products into new markets, then this podcast is for you.
