Market Chatter: Polestar Says It Was Surprised by Forced US Exit

MT Newswires Live01:04

Polestar Automotive (PSNY) said it still does not understand why it must stop US sales while its corporate cousin, Volvo Cars, was allowed to continue, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday, citing an Aug. 18 letter from Polestar to its US dealers.

The Trump administration is implementing a new rule to prevent China from spying through connected-vehicle technology, with Polestar becoming the first auto manufacturer effectively blocked from selling vehicles in the US under the rule, the report said.

Polestar said the US Commerce Department had indicated that it would be allowed to sell in the US, like Volvo Cars, as the automakers share a Chinese majority owner and have nearly identical hardware and software in two of their models, the report said.

Polestar did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
