POLESTAR, the electric-car maker backed by China's Geely, said it will seek new suppliers to get around a US Government ban on Chinese software in new high-tech vehicles, reports London's Financial Times.
The ban threatens Polestar's future in the US, but its chief executive Michael Lohscheller, said the group would continue to expand in America despite the return of Donald Trump as president, who has vowed to revoke the country's electric vehicle 'mandates'.
Last week, the US Commerce Department finalised rules prohibiting the use of Chinese software and hardware for electric vehicles, shutting out cars made in China from the American market.
polestar was considering new non-Chinese suppliers for its EV software and other components, Mr Lohscheller said in an interview, adding the group had enough time to find a solution before the ban came into effect from its 2027 model year vehicles.
