Polestar has announced that it will stop selling new vehicles in the United States starting with the 2027 model year. This decision follows a refusal by the U.S. Department of Commerce to grant the company the necessary authorization.

Polestar 宣布，將從 2027 年式起停止在美國銷售新車。此決定源於美國商務部拒絕授予該公司必要的許可。

The decision is a direct result of the Connected Vehicles Rule, which was created in January 2025 and kept in place by the Trump administration. This rule bans the import and sale of cars that use connected technology—such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and satellite systems—linked to 'countries of concern,' including China. U.S. officials emphasized that these technologies allow for the collection of sensitive data, which creates a national security risk. Consequently, the government is using this rule to reduce the influence of Chinese automotive technology and encourage more manufacturing within the U.S.

此決定是「聯網車輛規則」的直接結果，該規則於 2025 年 1 月制定並由川普政府維持。此規則禁止進口與銷售使用聯網技術（如藍牙、Wi-Fi 及衛星系統）且與「關注國家」（包括中國）相關的汽車。美國官員強調，這些技術允許收集敏感數據，會造成國家安全風險。因此，政府利用此規則來減少中國汽車技術的影響，並鼓勵更多在美國國內製造。

Although Polestar is a Swedish company, it is mostly owned by the Chinese group Geely. Even though the Polestar 3 is made in South Carolina, the U.S. government denied the company's request for special permission to continue sales. This is surprising because Volvo, another company owned by Geely, received permission in May, provided they follow strict rules. Because of these different results, there is now a lot of uncertainty about whether producing the Polestar 3 in the U.S. is still a viable plan.

儘管 Polestar 是一家瑞典公司，但大部分由中國吉利集團持有。即便 Polestar 3 是在南卡羅來納州製造，美國政府仍拒絕了該公司繼續銷售的特別許可申請。這令人驚訝，因為同樣由吉利擁有的 Volvo 在 5 月份獲得了許可，前提是必須遵守嚴格規定。由於結果迥異，目前關於在美國生產 Polestar 3 是否仍為可行計劃存在很大不確定性。

In response to these challenges, Polestar is shifting its strategy toward regional markets. CEO Michael Lohscheller stated that the global car market is becoming more divided by region. Therefore, the company is focusing more on Europe, where it already makes about 80% of its sales, and plans to build the new Polestar 7 in Slovakia. This change is happening while the company faces financial difficulties, as it has struggled to make a consistent profit and relies on funding from Geely Holding and Li Shufu.

面對這些挑戰，Polestar 正將策略轉向區域市場。執行長 Michael Lohscheller 表示，全球汽車市場正變得更加區域化。因此，公司將更加專注於歐洲，該地區已佔其約 80% 的銷售額，並計劃在斯洛伐克生產新款 Polestar 7。這次轉型發生在公司面臨財務困難之際，因為其一直難以維持穩定獲利，並依賴吉利控股與李書福的資金支持。

Polestar will leave the U.S. market for new models starting in 2027, but it will continue to provide service and sell its remaining stock of Polestar 3 and 4 vehicles.

Polestar 將從 2027 年起退出美國新車市場，但將繼續提供維修服務，並銷售其餘的 Polestar 3 與 4 庫存車。
