Polestar, the Swedish premium electric performance car brand, has delivered its first U.S.-built Polestar 3 SUVs to customers in the North American market.

Deliveries of Polestar 3 began around the U.S. and Canada in the past few weeks and now units manufactured in the South Carolina plant have begun as well.

The SUV for the electric age plays an important role in the brand’s continued development, as Polestar moves from a one- to a three-car brand with Polestar 2, Polestar 3 and Polestar 4.

“From our retail partners to our employees, I’m extremely proud and excited for the delivery of U.S.-built Polestar 3’s making their way to customers,” said Anders Gustafsson, Head of Polestar North America.

“Polestar 3 plays a pivotal role in our brand’s expanding lineup as an SUV designed for the North American market, proudly assembled in South Carolina, and now being handed over to North American customers.”

While Polestar 3 deliveries continue across Polestar Spaces throughout the U.S. to enthusiastic customers, deliveries in Canada also took place in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, which make up over 90 percent of the country’s EV market.
