Feds deny Polestar authorization to sell cars in US from model year 2027
美国联邦政府拒绝批准极星（Polestar）2027年款及以后的车型在美国销售
The electric car brand Polestar’s days in the US are seriously numbered. Today, the company revealed that the US Commerce Department has declined to authorize imports of new Polestars from model year 2027 onward as part of a rule banning connected cars from automakers with Chinese links. 电动汽车品牌极星（Polestar）在美国的日子已屈指可数。该公司今日透露，美国商务部已拒绝批准进口2027年款及以后的极星新车，此举是针对禁止具有中国背景的汽车制造商销售联网汽车相关规定的一部分。
Polestar says it will continue to sell its existing stock of Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 SUVs and “will continue to support customers, including providing access to its service network.” But we can forget about the Polestar 5 sedan, the Polestar 6 roadster, or any future models making it to these shores. 极星表示，将继续销售现有的极星3和极星4 SUV库存，并“将继续为客户提供支持，包括提供其服务网络的使用权限”。但我们可以断定，极星5轿车、极星6跑车或任何未来车型将无法进入美国市场。
The automaker was spun out of Volvo Cars several years ago as a pure EV brand by its corporate parent, Zhejiang Geely Holding, a Chinese company that also owns OEMs like Lynk and Co and Zeekr. And just weeks ago, Commerce authorized Volvo to import MY27 vehicles. At the time, Polestar told Ars that it was continuing to work with US authorities to meet the regulations; that work was evidently in vain. 该汽车制造商几年前从沃尔沃汽车剥离，成为其母公司——中国浙江吉利控股集团旗下的纯电动汽车品牌。吉利旗下还拥有领克（Lynk & Co）和极氪（Zeekr）等原始设备制造商（OEM）。就在几周前，美国商务部还批准了沃尔沃进口2027年款车型。当时，极星曾向《Ars Technica》表示，公司正继续与美国当局合作以符合相关法规；但显然，这些努力付诸东流。
US domestic auto manufacturing interests have been wildly successful in raising support for protectionist measures from across the political spectrum, although ironically, the Polestar 3 SUV is built in South Carolina at the Volvo plant near Charleston. Polestar 4s destined for the US were built in South Korea, although much of Polestar’s manufacturing is in China. 美国国内汽车制造业利益集团在争取跨党派支持保护主义措施方面取得了巨大成功，尽管讽刺的是，极星3 SUV是在南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿附近的沃尔沃工厂生产的。销往美国的极星4则是在韩国生产的，尽管极星的大部分制造业务仍在中国。
“The automotive industry is entering a new phase, based on regional dynamics. Our strategy reflects that, with Europe being our largest growth engine and our plan to manufacture Polestar 7 in Europe,” said Michael Lohscheller, Polestar’s CEO. “Our record sales in 2025 and the first quarter of 2026 show that we are making strong progress, with several new market launches taking place in Europe this year. In addition, we will continue to invest in markets where we have opportunities to continue to grow, like Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Canada.” 极星首席执行官迈克尔·洛舍勒（Michael Lohscheller）表示：“汽车行业正基于区域动态进入一个新阶段。我们的战略反映了这一点，欧洲是我们最大的增长引擎，我们计划在欧洲生产极星7。我们在2025年和2026年第一季度的创纪录销售额表明我们正在取得重大进展，今年在欧洲推出了多个新市场。此外，我们将继续投资于有增长机会的市场，如东南亚、东欧、拉丁美洲和加拿大。”
