Polestar sold 228 vehicles in Norway in April, rising both year over year and from the previous month, according to data published Monday by the Norwegian Road Federation.
Sales jumped 148.7% from 76 units in April 2024 and edged up 2.7% from 222 units in March.
The EV maker delivered 583 vehicles in Norway throughout the first quarter, up 94% from the 300 units recorded a year ago. Over the first four months of 2025, the carmaker sold 811 vehicles in the country.
Out of the 11,286Â passenger cars registered in the Nordic market last month, about 10,950 were fully electric vehicles, representing 97% of the market share. A year ago, EV sales accounted for 89.4%.
Competitors
Tesla’s Model Y was Norway’s top-selling car (across all powertrains) for the second consecutive month, with 869 units sold in April. Over the last four months, the Elon Musk-led company sold 3,656 units of the recently refreshed model.
The U.S. brand delivered 976 EVs last month, up nearly 12% year-on-year, capturing an 8.6% share and bringing its year-to-date total to 4,793 units.
The Model Y is followed by Volkswagen‘s ID.4 (724 units) and the Toyota bZ4X with 697 units.
Among Chinese rivals, Zeekr registered 97 vehicles, XPeng 333, and BYD 399 —combining fully electric and plug-in hybrid models. Nio sold 29 units, a sharp drop of 55% year-over-year.
April Results
The Michael Lohscheller-led company delivered 170 vehicles in the Netherlands, its best sales month in the Dutch market year to date. In Switzerland, the brand sold 79 EVs, bringing year to date figures to 327 units.
Backed by China’s Geely Holding Group but headquartered in Sweden, the brand registered 535 vehicles in the Scandinavian market in April, up 11.5% from 480 units a year earlier.
Data from Motor Intelligence revealed that the carmaker sold 460 vehicles in the United States. In early April, as tariffs on imported vehicles and auto parts were imposed, the brand removed the option to configure the Polestar 2 model from its U.S. website.
Polestar 2 Recall
Over the weekend, Polestar announced a physical recall of nearly 28,000 Polestar 2 units produced from 2021 to 2025, due to an issue with its reversing cameras, after owners claimed they were inoperative.
The company had already issued a similar recall in June 2024, which covered almost 26,000 vehicles, however the fix was done over-the-air (OTA). This time, the “synchronization error between the Parking Assist Camera (PAC) and the infotainment system” cannot be solved OTA but with a physical software update.
Last week, the carmaker postponed its 2024 annual report filing, previously expected in April, to May 14. First quarter results will also be reported this month, although no particular date has been provided.
Polestar is currently trading at $1.06, just above Nasdaq’s compliance threshold of $1.00 to avoid delisting. The stock lost 18.5% in the past twelve months.
