Washington's tightened EV market access has dealt a blow to Polestar, with US officials denying authorization under the new Connected Vehicle Rule. The Chinese-owned automaker, a subsidiary of Geely, faces a 13% stock plunge as its 2027 models are barred from US markets due to data security concerns.

The regulation targets foreign technology with dual prohibitions: a 2027 ban on software controlled by Chinese or Russian firms, followed by a 2030 hardware embargo. Notably, Volvo—another Geely brand sharing production facilities with Polestar—secured a waiver through negotiations with US commerce officials.

Polestar now pivots to European markets, winding down US operations. The selective enforcement highlights growing tech protectionism as geopolitical tensions reshape global supply chains.
