Polestar manufactures electric vehicles from headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, with production facilities in South Carolina and operations worldwide. The company emerged from Volvo's performance division in 2017 as a standalone brand, building on racing heritage that traces to 1996. It is publicly traded on Nasdaq under ticker PSNY and controlled by Geely Holding.
The product lineup includes the Polestar 2 fastback, Polestar 3 SUV, and Polestar 4 SUV coupe, with the Polestar 5 Grand Tourer in development. The company's engineering spans electric vehicle architecture, performance-derived powertrains, automotive design, and manufacturing operations across multiple production sites. Polestar has committed to delivering a climate-neutral vehicle by 2030.
As a manufacturer operating connected automotive systems at scale, Polestar's infrastructure encompasses vehicle telemetry, over-the-air update mechanisms, manufacturing control systems, and supply chain operations. The organization manages the security surface typical of modern EV platforms: embedded systems across vehicle electronics, cloud connectivity for diagnostics and updates, production environment controls, and logistics networks supporting global distribution from U.S. and international facilities.
