"The move to consolidate global Polestar 3 production in Charleston help[s] generate efficiencies for both companies, whilst also underscoring our confidence in the plant and the role it plays in our manufacturing footprint."
"The US is a very important market for Volvo Cars, both to support our growth ambitions as well as a strategic production site to meet regional and export demands."
The Volvo factory in Charleston, South Carolina, will exclusively produce the Polestar 3, previously built in Chengdu, China. This consolidation aims to improve efficiencies for both Volvo and Polestar. Håkan Samuelsson emphasized the importance of the US market for Volvo's growth and production strategy. In contrast to Volvo's 7 percent sales decline in 2025, Polestar experienced a 34 percent sales increase, making the decision to increase Polestar 3 production in South Carolina a strategic move.
