(Central News Agency, Stockholm/Washington, Comprehensive Foreign News Report on the 25th) As the United States intensifies its crackdown on Chinese automobiles, Swedish electric vehicle manufacturer Polestar, which is majority-owned by China Geely Automobile Holdings, said today that the Trump administration has forced the automaker to ban sales of 2027 and subsequent models in the United States. Reuters reported that the U.S. Department of Commerce has not agreed to authorize Polestar to sell cars under the Connected Vehicles Rule. The rules, which restrict the import and sale of vehicles equipped with Chinese connected car technology, take effect starting with the 2027 model year. The new regulations based on national security considerations cover Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, mobile network connections and some satellite communication technologies to prevent vehicles from collecting sensitive information about American owners. This rule was adopted in January 2025 during the administration of former US President Joe Biden and continued to maintain relevant policies after Donald Trump returned to the White House. As the United States strengthens its domestic auto industry, this is the latest move by Washington to tighten its ban on Chinese manufacturing and exporting cars. Polestar said it will continue to sell its existing models Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 in the United States and continue to provide after-sales services, emphasizing that it will not appeal against the rejection of the application. U.S. lawmakers have proposed further tightening of relevant restrictions; the U.S. Department of Commerce has not yet responded to Reuters’ request for comment.
