Electric car brand Polestar expects to at least double its UK sales volume by the end of 2022 as the brand continues to win over EV buyers.

It is set to expand its small network of Polestar Space showrooms to four this autumn, opening at Battersea in London, and UK chief executive Jonathan Goodman told AM its physical footprint would double further to eight locations by the end of 2023.

Expansion will include its first location in Scotland.

Goodman said "a clear sign of the momentum building behind the brand" is its 22,000 deliveries globally in the first half 2022, which compares with a full year 2021 result of 29,000 units.

Global order take for 2022 has reached above 50,000 (a 350% year-on-year).
