Polestar registered 603 vehicles in Germany in June, a 16.6% increase from 517 a year earlier and the brand’s strongest month of 2026 so far, data released on Friday by the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) showed. First-half registrations reached 2,429 units, up 26.8% from 1,915 in the comparable period of 2025. Second-quarter registrations totaled 1,145, an 8.0% increase from 1,060 in the same period a year ago. The pace was slower than the first quarter’s 50% surge to 1,284 units, however, June’s strong close suggests the quarter-end shipment pattern that defines Polestar‘s registration cadence continued to hold.

In 2025, June was also a strong month at 517, though far below the year’s peaks in July (670) and December (781). Full-year 2025 registrations in Germany totaled approximately 5,007 units, meaning Polestar‘s first-half 2026 total already amounts to roughly 49% of last year’s annual figure. German EV Market Polestar‘s German growth coincides with a broader surge in electric vehicle demand.
