The first American-made Polestar EVs are now on the road. The Swedish automaker said on Friday it delivered the first Polestar 3 SUVs to US and Canadian customers. The Inflation Reduction Act, signed by President Biden in 2022, incentivizes automakers to manufacture EVs in the US, offering tax credits for companies and buyers.
Polestar began stateside Polestar 3 production in August at its Ridgeville, South Carolina plant. Those vehicles will serve North American and European markets, complementing the companys more established production in Chengdu, China.

The automaker says American and Canadian Polestar 3 deliveries will pick up steam in the coming weeks. You can take one for a spin if you live near one of the automakers Polestar Spaces, essentially brand-building fancy showrooms in or near major US cities.
The Polestar 3 is billed as the companys coming-out party, expanding the niche reach of the first two models to a more mainstream audience. Engadgets Tim Stevens tested the EV last month and found that, apart from a few early software glitches, the $73,400 and up SUV is great.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/polestar-delivers-the-first-us-made-polestar-3-evs-180002236.html?src=rss
