GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN – 9 July 2026. Polestar’s (Nasdaq: PSNY) retail sales in the first half of 2026 amounted to a record estimated 30,423 cars. In the second quarter, retail sales were an estimated 17,296 cars.

Michael Lohscheller, Polestar CEO, says: “Delivering record sales in the first half of the year, despite regulatory and market headwinds, is a significant achievement. We continue to make progress across the business, delivering strong growth in several key markets, especially in the UK, Germany, South Korea and the Iberia region.” 

“We continue to expand our retail sales network, which now stands at 235 sites, a growth of 39% compared to last year and remain focused on execution across the business, as we enter an important phase of new model launches in the coming months. The first customer deliveries of Polestar 5 are set to start and production of the Polestar 4 SUV has started, with first deliveries expected during the fourth quarter.”
