Polestar 3 now also built in the U.S.A

Polestar has announced that production of its all-electric SUV, the Polestar 3, has started in South Carolina in the U.S.A. This makes the Polestar 3 the first Polestar to be produced on two continents.

The factory in South Carolina will produce cars for customers in the U.S.A and Europe, complementing existing production in Chengdu, China. The firm 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 states that its asset-light approach to development and manufacturing enables it to benefit from the competence, flexibility and scalability of its partners and major shareholders.
