Summary
Polestar, the Geely-owned electric vehicle manufacturer, has been effectively blocked from selling its cars in the US market from model year 2027 onward. The US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security denied the company's request for authorization under the Connected Vehicle Rule, a regulation passed under the Biden administration that restricts the import and sale of vehicles containing software from China. This decision forces Polestar to retreat from the US market entirely.
