The group announced that it may hand stewardship of ailing luxury car brand Polestar over to majority Volvo shareholder Geely Holding .

Under the terms of the deal the two companies will collaborate on incorporating the fast-charging technology into Polestar vehicles. A prototype will be demonstrated next year, and StoreDot said it hopes Polestar cars using its extreme fast-charging batteries will be on the road by 2027. Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath said the collaboration with StoreDot would give EV owners "the ability to recharge in minutes". "What used to be range anxiety in electric vehicles is now transforming to charging anxiety," StoreDot CEO Doron Myersdorf said. Polestar last month said deliveries of electric vehicles (EV) rose 50% in the third quarter from a year earlier but fell 12% from the second quarter.

REUTERS/Victoria Klesty/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsCompanies Polestar Automotive Holding Uk Plc FollowOct 5 (Reuters) - Polestar Automotive Holding's deliveries of electric vehicles (EV) rose 50% in the third quarter from a year earlier, sending its shares up about 3% in premarket trading. The Swedish EV maker, however, reported a quarterly decline of 12% in deliveries to 13,900 units, compared with the second quarter, as high borrowing costs dent global demand for new vehicles. Globally, EV sales grew 49% to 6.2 million units in the first half of the year, a report by data analytics firm Canalys Research showed. Polestar Automotive, which is scheduled to announce its third-quarter results on Nov. 8, reiterated its tempered delivery forecast of 60,000-70,000 vehicles for the full year. The company expects to start deliveries of the Polestar 4 compact luxury crossover in China in the current quarter.
