Polestar lands $1B loan to keep EV plans on track


Polestar secured much needed capital via a three-year loan for $950 million as it tries to keep its EV plans on track.

Polestar secured a $950 million loan from a dozen banks, critical funds needed to keep its EV plans moving forward following Volvo’s decision to pull back its financial support of the electric automaker.
