Feds deny Polestar authorization to sell cars in US from model year 2027
Summary
The US Commerce Department declined to authorize imports of Polestar’s model year 2027 vehicles due to a broader rule banning connected cars from Chinese-linked automakers, effectively ending Polestar’s new US model introductions. Polestar will continue to sell existing stock, but vehicles like the Polestar 5 and 6 are unlikely to reach the US, highlighting evolving regional protectionism and security considerations in the auto industry.
