Polestar Says Biden Proposal Would ‘Effectively Prohibit’ Sale of Its Cars in US

Polestar said on Monday that a proposed Biden administration rule to bar the use of Chinese vehicle hardware and software would “effectively prohibit” the automaker from selling vehicles in the United States, including cars made in the U.S. The Swedish automaker, a brand of Volvo Cars that is majority-owned by China’s Geely said in comments filed with the Commerce Department that a proposed rule prohibiting Chinese-connected vehicles on American roads due to national security concerns would bar the sale of vehicles that Polestar is building in South Carolina as well as those produced in China.

‘Past Its Peak’: Slowing Jeep Gladiator Sales Raise Concerns at Toledo Factory

In late 2018, then-Jeep boss Tim Kuniskis pledged the brand’s new burly off-roading pickup, the Gladiator, would do battle with other popular midsize truck entries like the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma while also setting a “new benchmark” for the segment. For a couple of years, it did. Gladiator sales surged to nearly 90,000 in the United States by 2021, matching the popular Jeep Cherokee SUV that year. But since then, sales have fallen sharply — from 78,855 in 2022, to 55,188 last year, to just 32,670 sold through this year’s third quarter. The slow sales have spurred big discounts on Gladiators.
