Polestar will no longer be allowed to sell new vehicles in the United States beginning with the 2027 model year after the Trump administration denied the Swedish electric-vehicle maker authorization under federal rules governing connected vehicle technology, according to Reuters.

The decision essentially blocks Polestar from introducing new models in the US market as Washington continues to express national security concerns over vehicles with technology tied to China.

Other automakers with Chinese ownership have sought different courses of action. Volvo Cars received authorization from the Commerce Department in May, though the automaker said it must continue demonstrating compliance across its US lineup.

This decision has the musk of corruption all over it.

I have the same concerns, with Chinese and especially US technology for all the same reasons.

A more plausible explanation is that Trump didn't get to wet his beak and now he's taking revenge.

They are worried about missing out on sensitive drivers data. Either they get that data, or nobody does. 😑
