MAHWAH, N.J. – Polestar, the electric performance car brand from Sweden, announced today the establishment of Polestar Financial Services, which will provide a variety of consumer finance and lease offerings for customers purchasing Polestar vehicles. Via Polestar Financial Services and additional consumer support directly from Polestar, lessee customers can also benefit from the entire $7,500 U.S. Federal electric vehicle tax credit currently available to qualifying purchasers of the Polestar 2 electric fastback.
“The road to market has been an exciting journey, and we look forward to working with Polestar on the future of automotive retail,” said Dan Romagnoli, CFO of Polestar Financial Services. “We are pleased to have both lease and finance options with broad consumer appeal at launch, and will continue to develop our offerings over time.”
