Which country produces Polestar cars?
2 Answers
Polestar cars are produced in Sweden. Here is an introduction to Polestar: 1. Polestar is a high-performance electric vehicle brand originating from Sweden. 2. Polestar (English name: Polestar) is jointly owned by Volvo Car Group and Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. It is a design-driven high-performance electric vehicle brand, with its headquarters located in Gothenburg, Sweden. Currently, it offers two models: Polestar 1 and Polestar 2. 3. Polestar is a pioneering electric vehicle brand driven by design, creating environmentally friendly and enjoyable electric vehicles with pure, pioneering, and high-performance brand concepts. It provides users with uncompromising driving experiences, leading the industry and inspiring the future.
I learned that although Polestar cars carry a Swedish badge, their production is actually distributed across several locations worldwide. Initially, it indeed spun off from Volvo's high-performance division in Sweden, but now it's primarily under the management of China's Geely Holding. For example, the limited-edition Polestar 1 sports car was handcrafted at the factory in Gothenburg, Sweden, using Volvo's old production lines. However, the best-selling Polestar 2 shifted production to Chengdu, China, where Volvo Asia Pacific's modern factory is located. The soon-to-be-launched Polestar 3 will be produced at a factory in South Carolina, USA, sharing the production line with Volvo's new electric vehicles. This global layout is quite common nowadays, as it allows the R&D team to retain the essence of Nordic design while leveraging China's well-established electric vehicle supply chain. If someone asks about the origin, you can't really name a single country—it depends on the manufacturing label of the specific model.
