Swedish electric performance carmaker Polestar has opened its 14th retail Space in the UK, located in Aylesford, Maidstone, as part of its strategy to expand access to electric vehicles (EVs) across the country. The new showroom offers customers in Kent, Sussex, Surrey, and Essex a premium environment to explore the brand’s electric lineup, including the Polestar 2 fastback, Polestar 3 SUV, and Polestar 4 SUV coupé.
The Maidstone location, situated at Lipscomb Cars Ltd, Performance House, Forstal Road, benefits from the town’s growing EV infrastructure, which includes 29 public charging points, 21 of them rapid chargers. Local council initiatives, such as free parking for battery electric vehicles, further support adoption of cleaner transportation.
The new showroom provides an immersive customer experience with test drives, tailored consultations, and options for home or office vehicle delivery, while existing owners can access on-site servicing facilities.
Polestar UK Managing Director Matt Galvin said, “We’re excited to bring Polestar to Maidstone and make our cars even more accessible across the South East. This opening supports our ambition to meet customers where they are, offering a seamless and informed experience from test drive to order.”
Mark Barnes, Director of Lipscomb, added, “We’re incredibly proud to have opened this sleek new Polestar Space in Maidstone. With a newly refurbished showroom, strong local media partnerships, and a community of passionate EV drivers, we’re confident this will drive real momentum across Maidstone and the South East.”
