Polestar 3 production begins in South Carolina

Production of the Polestar 3 SUV for customers in the US and Europe has begun at the brand’s manufacturing facility in South Carolina, USA.

The brand says the Polestar 3 is its first model to be produced on two continents, as the South Carolin factory complements existing production in Chengdu, China. 

Polestar chief executive Thomas Ingenlath says producing the vehicle in the USA is a crucial step for the brand.

Now, we offer customers in the USA a locally-built electric SUV. Exporting the South Carolina-produced Polestar 3 to Europe will strengthen our business on a broader scope,” Ingenlath says. 

“I strongly believe this is the best-looking and best-driving SUV in the market today,” he says. 

The company is taking further steps to a wider manufacturing footprint, with production of Polestar 4 set to start in South Korea in the middle of 2025.
