US Regulators Halt Polestar's New EV Sales Amid Concerns Over Chinese Ownership In a move that has sent shockwaves through the electric vehicle (EV) industry, the US government has blocked Swedish luxury carmaker Polestar from selling new EVs in the country. The decision, which was made by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), is reportedly linked to Polestar's Chinese ownership. The company, which is backed by Chinese conglomerate Geely, has been accused of not meeting US safety and security standards due to its ties to the Chinese government. As a result, Polestar's sales of new vehicles in the US have been put on hold, leaving the company's US dealerships in limbo.
