The first Polestar 3 electric SUVs, built in South Carolina, are now being delivered to customers. Polestar (PSNY) said the new premium electric SUV will play a “pivotal role” in North America.
The first US-made Polestar 3 has officially been delivered
After the first model rolled out of its South Carolina plant in August, US-made Polestar 3 SUVs are now reaching customers.
On Friday, the premium Swedish EV maker announced it had delivered the first Polestar 3 models manufactured at its SC facility.
Anders Gustafsson, head of Polestar’s North American operations, said the “Polestar 3 plays a pivotal role in our brand’s expanding lineup as an SUV designed for the North American market.” He added that it is “now being handed over to North American customers.”
Former CEO Thomas Ingenlath, who left the company last month, said before departing that “manufacturing Polestar 3 in the USA is a crucial step for us.”
Polestar has been producing the electric SUV in China since April, but the US-made model may be even more significant for the brand.
With the Polestar 3 (see our review) hitting the market, the premium EV brand moves from a one-car company to a three-car powerhouse.
The new electric SUV joins the Polestar 2 sedan and Polestar 4 SUV coupe. Polestar 4 deliveries began in Europe in August, and the new model is expected to arrive in the US later this year.
The Polestar 3 starts at $74,800 and provides up to 315 miles of driving range. The Polestar 4, starting at $56,300, provides up to 300 miles of range.
Polestar will speed up deliveries in the US and Canada in the coming weeks. The company said customers in Canada, including Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver, which make up 90% of the country’s EV market, are also receiving their new Polestar 3 models.
