What Happened
Polestar has been barred from selling its new electric vehicles in the United States, with the prohibition set to take effect from the 2027 model year. The decision is reportedly linked to the company's ownership structure, which involves Chinese interests.
This ban is being implemented under the Connected Vehicle Rule. The move is seen as an intensification of pressure on electric vehicle manufacturers that have connections to China.
While some reports indicate the ban begins next year, others specify the 2027 model year as the effective date for the prohibition on new EV sales.
