Following strong deliveries in the month of June, up 73%
year-on-year, Polestar achieved its best ever second quarter,
delivering approximately 15,800 vehicles, a growth of 36% compared
to last year. With record global deliveries of around 27,900 for
the first six months, Polestar is on track to deliver 60,000-70,000
vehicles in 2023.
Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO, comments: “As expected,
deliveries have continued to gather pace from month to month,
resulting in a record second quarter. I’m confident this trend will
continue into the seasonally stronger second half of the year,
which will also see the first deliveries of our significantly
upgraded Polestar 2, with up to 22% longer range.
“More than 20 permanent Polestar Spaces are planned to open over
the coming months, as we expand our footprint and shift from
temporary locations into larger facilities that can accommodate our
growing line-up. I'm really pleased that the first Polestar 3
display cars will be arriving in our Spaces in the coming
weeks.”
Polestar expects to post its unaudited financial and operational
results for the second quarter of 2023 on Thursday, 31 August 2023,
before market opening in the USA. Polestar's CEO and CFO will hold

offerings; (5) competition, the ability of Polestar to grow and
manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and
suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (6)
Polestar’s estimates of expenses and profitability; (7) increases

competition and the high barriers to entry in the automotive
industry, and the pace and depth of electric vehicle adoption
generally on Polestar’s future business; (10) changes in regulatory
requirements, governmental incentives and fuel and energy prices;
(11) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted
against Polestar or others; (12) the ability to meet stock exchange

limited number of vehicle models to generate revenues; (16)
Polestar’s ability to continuously and rapidly innovate, develop
and market new products; (17) risks related to future market
adoption of Polestar’s offerings; (18) risks related to Polestar’s
distribution model; (19) the impact of the global COVID-19
pandemic, inflation, interest rate changes, the ongoing conflict
between Ukraine and Russia, supply chain disruptions and logistical
constraints on Polestar, Polestar’s projected results of
operations, financial performance or other financial and
operational metrics, or on any of the foregoing risks; and (20)
other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled
“Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements” in Polestar’s Form 20-F, and other documents filed, or
to be filed, with the SEC by Polestar. There may be additional
