U.S. Auto Industry Scrambles to Replace Chinese Connected-Car Hardware Amid Federal Ban
PSNY sits 25% above its 52-week low of $11.75.
Summary
The U.S. auto industry is racing to purge Chinese connected-car hardware ahead of a 2030 deadline, with suppliers like Eagle Wireless scaling up to meet demand. This follows the June 2025 ban on Polestar's new U.S. sales under the same rule, highlighting the direct impact on the company. The article reveals that Ford is seeking an exemption to import China-produced models, while Polestar's parent Geely faces broader supply-chain disruption. For Polestar, already banned from selling new models, the industry-wide shift underscores the permanence of its U.S. market exclusion and the costly, complex transition away from Chinese components. The news reinforces the regulatory headwinds that have battered Polestar's outlook.
