Polestar has announced that it will launch a new vehicle each year for the next three years, starting with Polestar 3. By the end of 2023, the company aims to expand its presence to at least 30 global markets. Global sales of about 29,000 vehicles in 2021 are expected to increase tenfold, reaching about 290,000 units by the end of 2025.
Polestar only wants to introduce electric cars, and the Polestar 1 hybrid coupe is being phased out. The portfolio currently consists of the Polestar 2 mid-size sedan. In addition to the Polestar 3, a mid-size SUV and sports sedan are also planned. There could also be a roadster.
To fund its plans, Polestar plans to go public on the Nasdaq as part of a proposed merger with investment firm Gores Guggenheim. The project is expected to be completed in the first half of 2022.
