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.
