Polestar, the electric vehicle manufacturer, has unveiled its first retail space in North Carolina. Located at 4425 Sharon Road, Ste. S140, Charlotte, NC 28211, the newly launched “Polestar Space” caters to the growing demand for electric vehicles in the region.
Why It Matters
North Carolina witnessed a substantial 50% surge in EV registrations in 2022, signaling an urgent need for increased EV retail spaces. The Charlotte store not only meets this demand but also represents Polestar’s inaugural presence in the Carolinas. As of September 21, the showroom, along with the other 31 Polestar Spaces in North America, proudly showcases the Polestar 3 SUV prototype.

Bottom Line
