Polestar faces US sales ban from 2027 over Chinese connected systems, pivots to Europe
By Eve
The Trump administration will bar Polestar from selling vehicles in the United States beyond model year 2027, citing legislation that targets Chinese connected systems and personal data management. The Swedish brand, owned by Geely, now finds itself shut out of the two largest global markets and is concentrating its commercial strategy on Europe. The US measure relies on rules initiated under the Biden administration rather than tariffs.
Why it matters
A major OEM retreating to a single continent will reshape charging infrastructure demand and partnership priorities in Europe, while US site developers lose a premium EV marque from their forecasts. Procurement teams should watch whether Polestar's European focus accelerates depot and destination charger tenders.

Polestar Q3 sales rise 1% globally as US buyers rush ahead of 2027 model year ban
Polestar delivered 14,371 vehicles in Q3, up 1% year on year, but sales outside the US fell 8% to 12,211 units. US deliveries more than doubled to 2,160 vehicles (up 124%) as buyers purchased inventory before a Department of Commerce rule bans new Chinese connected and driver assistance technology from model year 2027. For the first nine months, global sales reached 44,790 units, up 0.6%, with US volumes rising 13% to 4,017 while non US markets dipped 0.5%.
Why it matters
The surge in US sales ahead of the regulatory ban highlights short term demand volatility that OEMs and charge point operators must plan around, particularly as Polestar will need new models and markets to replace American volume. The shift underscores how geopolitical trade rules are reshaping EV sales geography and the infrastructure investment priorities that follow fleet deployment.
Brazilian battery swap firm Vammo reaches 10 million swaps and EBITDA profitability
Vammo, a São Paulo based electric motorcycle and battery swapping company, has surpassed 10 million battery swaps since launching in 2022, up from 1 million swaps in early 2024. The firm now operates around 1,000 swapping points serving more than 10,000 active riders and has achieved EBITDA profitability. Vammo is expanding to Campinas as its second city, with plans to focus on São Paulo state before broader Latin American rollout.
Why it matters
The profitability milestone and rapid swap volume growth demonstrate a viable commercial model for battery swapping infrastructure in high density two wheeler markets, where São Paulo state alone sees over 500,000 motorcycle sales annually. Vammo's expansion plans signal potential procurement opportunities for swapping hardware and energy management systems across Latin America's urban delivery and mobility sectors.
Lepas L8 Elevate plug-in hybrid SUV launches in UK at £34,900 with 10% BiK rate
Lepas, the premium brand from Chery (parent of Omoda and Jaecoo), has launched its first UK model, the L8 Elevate plug-in hybrid SUV. The mid-size family SUV is priced from £34,900 for the Essence trim to £37,900 for the top-spec Elevate, attracting a 10% Benefit-in-Kind rate for the 2026/27 tax year. Reviewer Ian Campbell praised the cabin quality, leather seats and premium detailing, noting that 20% taxpayers face around £63 monthly BiK and 40% taxpayers roughly £126, delivering meaningful savings over petrol equivalents in the 30% plus BiK bracket.
Why it matters
The competitive pricing and low BiK rate position the L8 as an attractive fleet option for organisations seeking cost-effective plug-in hybrid SUVs, while the new brand entry adds another contender in the mid-size PHEV segment that may influence procurement shortlists and residual value benchmarks for charging infrastructure planners.
