Polestar has begun production of its luxury SUV, Polestar 3, in South Carolina. This makes the Polestar 3 the first Polestar to be produced on two continents.
The factory in South Carolina produces cars for customers in the US and Europe, complementing existing production in Chengdu, China.
Manufacturing Polestar 3 in the USA is a crucial step for us. Now we offer customers in America an electric SUV that is built in America. Exporting the South Carolina produced Polestar 3 to Europe will strengthen our business on a broader scope. Polestar 3 has received superb reviews from global automotive media, with strong customer test drive interest.
—Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar’s CEO
The company is also taking additional steps to diversify its wider manufacturing footprint, with production of Polestar 4 set to start in South Korea from the middle of 2025.
Polestar’s asset-light approach to development and manufacturing enables it to benefit from the competence, flexibility and scalability of its partners and major shareholders.
Polestar plans to have a line-up of five performance EVs by 2026. The fastback Polestar 2 launched in 2019. Polestar 3 launched in late 2022. Polestar 4 is launching in phases through 2023 and into 2024. Polestar 5, an electric four-door GT and Polestar 6, an electric roadster, are coming soon.
The Polestar 0 project supports the company’s ambitious goal of creating a truly climate-neutral production car by 2030. The research initiative also aims to create a sense of urgency to act on the climate crisis, by challenging employees, suppliers and the wider automotive industry, to drive towards zero.
