Polestar blindsided by US EV sales ban after Volvo clearance

TL;DR Summary
Polestar says it was led to believe its US EV sales would continue after engaging with the Commerce Department, but the BIS-approved Volvo outcome contrasted with Polestar’s denial, forcing Polestar to halt US deliveries starting with the 2027 model year. The company has pressed for an explanation, noting it offered mitigation measures to comply with the China-connected software ban, and has faced a dealer lawsuit over its exit from the US.
