Performance electric vehicle (EV) brand Polestar has revealed plans to grow its global presence from nine to 30 markets by the end of 2022.

The Geely-owned EV brand’s UK chief executive, Jonathan Goodman, revealed in an interview with AM earlier this year that franchised partners will soon open two new Polestar Space facilities in Birmingham and Glasgow – doubling its footprint in the UK before the end of the year.

But while detail of the openings – which will join sites in London and Manchester, operated by Endeavour Automotive and Lookers – has yet to be confirmed, plans have now been revealed for ambitious global growth.

After confirming in July the doubling of its markets in 2021 from nine to eighteen, Polestar has revealed that aims to establish itself in a further twelve markets through 2022.

The move will see around 100 Polestar Spaces and Destinations will be operational by the end of 2021 with many more to come.
