Polestar, a Swedish electric vehicle brand, in the third quarter of 2022 delivered around 9,215 vehicles. From January to September 2022 the company has delivered around 30,400 electric vehicles in total, an increase of 100% year-on-year.
After previously production was disrupted by Covid-19 in China at the beginning of the year and the company is targeting to deliver 50,000 electric vehicles globally by 2022.
“We needed to catch up on production after Covid-19 related setbacks in China and we have. The majority of Polestar 2 cars set for delivery in Q4 are ready and making their way to our customers in 27 markets around the world, with the fourth quarter set to be our strongest on record yet. I am confident we will meet our target of 50,000 cars for this year,” says Polestar CEO, Thomas Ingenlath.
Polestar previously said it will unveil its Polestar 3 electric SUV on October 12. The Polestar 3 will be launched only in a dual motor format.
The electric SUV is expected to compete with other electric SUVs such as the Mercedes-Benz EQS, Rivian R1S and Tesla Model X. Like these models, the Polestar 3 will be produced in the US at Volvo’s plant in Charleston, South Carolina.
