This new market brings the total number of countries where the brand operates to 28, across four continents.
Michael Lohscheller, CEO of the firm, states:
“We’re thrilled to introduce our high-performance EV range to the French market, one of the most dynamic in Europe when it comes to electrification.”
“Our models are already receiving excellent reviews from the specialist automotive press in the country, and we look forward to seeing more and more Polestars on French roads in the coming months,” HE ADDS.

Agency Model, Premium Experience
The brand is adopting an agency sales model in France, working with selected partners from the Volvo network.
The vehicles will be available both online at and in Polestar Spaces — immersive, Scandinavian-designed showrooms created to offer a modern, premium customer experience.
The first Space will open in July in Le Mans, in partnership with SAS Thibault Optimum Automobiles.
Up to ten key cities will follow by the end of the year, with a long-term target of 25 to 30 retail points nationwide.
From launch, Polestar customers in France will benefit from more than 100 service points nationwide, thanks to the Volvo after-sales network. This ensures expert, local support is available across the country.
