With sufficient funds through 2023, we remain laser focused on business execution. We have around 70,000 cars on the road today and are on track to reach our goal of delivering 50,000 cars to customers in 2022. We are making strong progress on our ambitious plans to launch three more cars by 2026," says Polestar CEO, Thomas Ingenlath.

Polestar expects to post its results for the period ended September 30, 2022 on Friday, November 11, 2022.
