Polestar is a Swedish automotive manufacturer that produces electric vehicles. Owned by Volvo Cars, the company is headquartered in Torslanda outside Gothenburg, Sweden.[3] Polestar produces cars in several countries including China, the US, and South Korea, in facilities owned by Volvo Cars and Geely.[4][5]
The brand originated from Flash Engineering, a Swedish motorsport team established in 1996 that competed in the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship. In 2005, the team was sold then rebranded to Polestar Racing, which later operated a production car tuning division called Polestar Performance AB.[6][7] In July 2015, the Polestar brand was acquired by Volvo Cars.[8] The racing team was then rebranded to Cyan Racing, while still maintaining close ties to Volvo.[9]
The current holding company of Polestar was jointly formed in 2017 by Volvo Cars and Zhejiang Geely Holding Group.[10] Polestar shares began trading on the Nasdaq exchange under the symbol PSNY on 24 June 2022 through a business combination agreement.[11][12]
