Polestar barred from selling new cars in the U.S. starting with the 2027 model year under China-linked connected-vehicle rules
AI Market Summary
The U.S. Commerce Department's refusal to authorize Polestar sales under the Connected Vehicles Rules blocks new U.S. deliveries starting with the 2027 model year, highlighting intensifying regulatory and geopolitical constraints on China-linked auto supply chains and connected-vehicle tech. While Polestar notes most volumes are outside the U.S., the ruling narrows North American growth and increases profitability pressure, with potential read-through to EV and connected-tech equities.

The U.S. Commerce Department has declined to authorize Polestar to import and sell cars under the Connected Vehicles Rules, which would bar new Polestar sales in the United States starting with the 2027 model year. The rules restrict connected-vehicle technologies linked to China, including data-capable features such as Bluetooth and cellular connectivity. Polestar said 94% of its first-quarter 2026 retail sales came from outside the U.S., but the move threatens its North American growth outlook and adds to profitability pressure. Volvo, a sister brand that builds the Polestar 3, said it was too early to say whether the decision would alter its production plans.
