Polestar Barred From Selling New EVs in U.S. Under Connected Vehicle Rule Targeting Chinese Tech
By
Suvrat Kothari
Summary
Polestar, the Swedish EV maker owned by China's Geely Group, announced it will no longer be able to sell new vehicles in the U.S. after the Department of Commerce denied its authorization under the Connected Vehicle Rule, which targets cars with Chinese technology. The company can still sell remaining inventory of Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 models and support existing customers, but no 2027-model-year EVs will be sold in America. This marks a significant blow to Polestar's U.S. market ambitions due to geopolitical tensions over Chinese tech in vehicles.
