The car manufacturer is facing new restrictions on the American market, while vehicle reserves are said to have almost been sold.

The map of Polish electric cars is facing an unusual situation in the United States, where trade restrictions and concerns about technological security are affecting its future.

According to a report by Road & Track, the company is preparing not to offer 2027 models on the American market following restrictions related to its Chinese ownership.

Pollestar is a brand of Swedish origin, but it's controlled by the Chinese Geely group.

According to the report, US restrictions on vehicle-related technologies have created serious obstacles to continuing sales.

Only a limited number of vehicles from existing models remain on the American market, while the company is focusing increasingly on Europe.

The situation is significant for the automobile industry because modern cars are no longer just mechanical vehicles. They contain communication, software and technology systems that collect and process data.

That's what turned digital security into a business policy issue.

However, a withdrawal from the U.S. market does not mean the interruption of Polish's global activity.

The company continues to develop and sell vehicles in other markets, putting Europe at the centre of its strategy.
