Polestar won't appeal the US government's decision to block future vehicle sales.

The ban stems from new connected-car security rules targeting Chinese software in internet-connected vehicles starting with the 2027 model year.

Polestar will shift its focus to Europe.

Polestar is officially giving up on the US market, it seems. According to a new report from the Wall Street Journal, the Chinese-backed automaker won't challenge the US government's decision to block future sales of its vehicles.

The decision effectively ends the Swedish EV maker’s presence in one of the world's biggest auto markets. Instead of appealing the Commerce Department's ruling or pursuing legal action, Polestar says it will shift its attention elsewhere.
