Polestar med 76% vækst i detailsalget i årets første kvartal sammenlignet med samme periode sidste år

KØBENHAVN, DANMARK – 10. april 2025 – Polestar (Nasdaq: PSNY) solgte 12.304 biler på tværs af alle markeder i første kvartal 2025 – en stigning på 76% sammenlignet med samme periode sidste år. Trods et udfordrende økonomisk landskab ligger salget på niveau med fjerde kvartal 2024. Fremgangen skyldes især en stigende efterspørgsel på de to nye luksuriøse elektriske performance SUV’er Polestar 3 og Polestar 4 og overgangen til en mere aktiv salgsmodel.

Polestars CEO, Michael Lohscheller, udtaler: "Vi er på rette vej og gør de rigtige ting. Jeg er tilfreds med de fremskridt, vi ser i transformationen af vores kommercielle setup. Med en mere aktiv salgsmodel, flere retailpartnere og attraktive biler leverer vi stærke resultater. Samtidig følger vi den uforudsigelige og omskiftelige geopolitiske situation nøje og vil selvfølgelig tilpasse os, hvis det bliver nødvendigt."

I Danmark har første kvartal 2025 også budt på en stærk start for Polestar med 524 nyregistrerede biler – en stigning på 133% i forhold til de 225 nyregistreringer i samme periode sidste år.* Væksten dækker hele modelprogrammet fra den populære, prisvindende og fuldelektriske fastback Polestar 2, til de to nye luksuriøse elektriske performance SUV’er Polestar 3 og Polestar 4.

"Vi er meget tilfredse med udviklingen i Danmark. Det er virkelig positivt at se den flotte vækst på tværs af hele modelprogrammet. Den danske fremgang flugter med den globale tendens og understreger, at vores biler står aldeles stærkt – selv i et usikkert og omskifteligt marked," siger Henrik Bang, direktør for Polestar Danmark.

Detailsalget globalt:

Polestar forventer at offentliggøre sine årsresultater for 2024 og indsende sin årsrapport i Form 20-F inden udgangen af april 2025.
