Polestar announced on the 28th that it has begun full-scale production of the large electric sports utility vehicle (SUV) Polestar 3 at its factory in Chengdu, China. Polestar also added that it plans to start production at its South Carolina factory in the United States by mid-year and has recently successfully completed initial production testing for this.


Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of Polestar, said, "The start of Polestar 3 production is an important advancement and milestone for Polestar as it grows from a 'one-car company' selling only one model to a 'three-car company.' The preparations for the U.S. factory launch are also progressing smoothly."


Polestar 3 is the first Polestar model to be produced on two continents and is targeted for release in the North American, European, and Asian markets. The domestic release schedule has not yet been finalized.
