​Polestar Opens 1st Tampa Bay Electric Vehicle Showroom In Midtown

TAMPA, FL — Polestar, the Swedish electric performance car brand, announced Tuesday the opening of a new retail location, known as a Polestar Space, at 3710 Midtown Drive in Tampa.

“Florida has the nation’s second-highest electric vehicle sales volume. The new Polestar Tampa retail location offers a perfect brand introduction for drivers looking to go electric,” said Gregor Hembrough, head of Polestar North America. “With the award-winning Polestar 2 on sale at Polestar Tampa today, and the Polestar 3 SUV arriving next year, the timing is impeccable.”

Building on Polestar’s established network of retail locations that embody the brand’s signature design cues and a digital-forward sales approach, Polestar Tampa brings the brand to customers on the Gulf Coast area for the first time, enabling a hands-on experience with the cars and test drives with expert Polestar specialists.

Visitors to Polestar Tampa can test drive and learn about the all-electric Polestar 2 fastback, which is priced from $48,400 and available for immediate delivery. Visitors can also experience the new Polestar 3 in augmented reality. This recently unveiled electric performance SUV is priced from $83,900 and will be available for delivery in 2023.

“I am excited to open Polestar Tampa at a moment when conversion to electric vehicles is surging,” said Danny O’Malley, principal of Polestar Tampa. “My team is proud to be a part of the Polestar family as we are redefining what the customer experience of the electric future looks like.”

Polestar Tampa is part of the brand’s continued retail expansion, with a goal of having 35 locations across North America by the end of 2022.

From 2022, Polestar plans to launch one new electric vehicle per year, starting with Polestar
3. Polestar 4 is expected to follow in 2023, a smaller electric performance SUV coupe. The Polestar 5 electric performance four-door GT is planned to be launched in 2024. As the company seeks to reduce its climate impact with every new model, Polestar aims to produce a truly climate-neutral car by 2030.

In March 2022, The Polestar 2, Polestar's second concept car, was revealed in March. An electric performance roadster. The hard-top convertible presents an evolution of the design.

Polestar confirmed in August that a version of the concept will be produced as the Polestar 6 electric performance roadster, with launch expected in 2026.
