The U.S. has denied Polestar authorization to sell electric vehicles in the country model year 2027 onwards.
That effectively marks the exit of the Swedish automaker from America.
The Polestar 3 is assembled in the U.S., whereas the Polestar 4 is made in South Korea.
Polestar, the EV maker owned by China's Geely Group, will no longer be able to sell new vehicles in the U.S., it said on Thursday. The U.S. Department of Commerce denied the company an authorization under the Connected Vehicle Rule, which takes aim at cars with Chinese tech.
The Swedish automaker will continue to sell the remaining U.S. inventory of the Polestar 3 SUVs and Polestar 4 crossovers, and support existing customers through its service network. But no new 2027-model-year EVs will come to America.
