Polestar, the electric vehicle maker led by Thomas Ingenlath, has registered 660 vehicles in the United Kingdom during June.

In total, 34,034 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) were registered during June, representing a year over year increase of 7.4 percent as year to date BEV sales in the UK stood at 167,096 units.

The result represents a year on year drop of 41.33 percent (from 1,125 units) and a month over month recover from the 314 vehicles registered in May 2024, according to the latest figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

Earlier in the week, the company reported global deliveries of “approximately 13,000” units in the second quarter of the year. The result represents a growth of about 80 percent from the first three months of the year and takes Polestar’s year-to-date deliveries to 20,200 vehicles.

Last week, the company delivered the first units of the Polestar 3 at its headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden. Earlier in the day, the company said it would start offering a new entry-level variant for the SUV with the introduction of a new Long Range Single Motor variant.

The brand’s first fully electric model, Polestar 2, has now a refreshed version, featuring design updates, a revamped pack structure, increased range, and more individual options.

Since the launch of the first iteration, the company has delivered more than 160,000 units across 27 markets.
