The chief executive of POLESTAR AUTOMOTIVE-CL A ADS has highlighted a significant shift in the electric vehicle market, noting that used-car sales are currently outstripping those of new models. Michael Lohscheller attributed this trend to rising gasoline and diesel prices, largely influenced by ongoing geopolitical tensions involving Iran, which have pushed cost-conscious consumers toward more affordable pre-owned electric options.
