Electric vehicle manufacturer Polestar is facing allegations of deceit and manipulation in its decision to leave the US market. According to a lawsuit filed by Prestige Imports, a Polestar dealership, the Swedish brand had been secretly planning its exit from the US for over two years. The lawsuit claims that Polestar intentionally "maneuvered the government into a ban" on the sale of its vehicles in the country, using the ban as a cover for its own withdrawal from the market. The move is likely to raise questions about Polestar's business practices and its commitment to the US market, where it had previously announced plans to expand its presence.
