Polestar to Shift EV Production from China to US Amid Geopolitical Tensions

Chinese-backed electric vehicle maker Polestar Automotive is shifting production of cars destined for Europe to its US plant in response to rising geopolitical tensions. The company’s CEO, Thomas Ingenlath, expressed concerns about a potential European probe into Chinese-made EVs and the impact of increased tariffs. Polestar plans to export its Polestar 3 SUV from South Carolina to the European Union, where it currently builds its vehicles in China. The automaker’s efforts come as European and US authorities scrutinize exports by Chinese EV makers, alleging unfair advantages from state subsidies.
