GÖTEBORG, ZWEDEN – 9 april 2026. Polestar (Nasdaq: PSNY) noteerde in het eerste kwartaal van 2026 een wereldwijde geschatte retailverkoop van 13.126 wagens, goed voor een groei van 7% in vergelijking met dezelfde periode vorig jaar. Het aantal actieve verkooppunten bedraagt momenteel 230, tegenover 154 eind Q1 2025, wat neerkomt op een stijging van 50%.
Michael Lohscheller, CEO van Polestar, zegt:
“Na een recordjaar in 2025 hebben we nu ook onze hoogste retailverkoop ooit in een eerste kwartaal gerealiseerd, met 13.126 wagens. De groei van 7% ten opzichte van het eerste kwartaal vorig jaar is te danken aan sterke prestaties in belangrijke markten zoals Australië, Duitsland, Zweden, Zuid-Korea en het VK. Dit onderstreept het harde werk van onze teams en de sterke positie van ons merk.
Onze prestaties in het eerste kwartaal tonen bovendien veerkracht, ondanks uitdagendere marktomstandigheden en aanhoudende geopolitieke ontwikkelingen.”
Overzicht volumes klantverkochte wagens:
Polestar blijft zijn verkoopnetwerk uitbreiden en mikt tegen het einde van dit jaar op ongeveer 250 verkooppunten. Dat betekent een groei van 20% ten opzichte van eind 2025. In België openen we in het tweede kwartaal bovendien twee extra Spaces.
Einde.
