In a bold move echoing Tesla’s recent decision, Polestar, the renowned Swedish electric vehicle manufacturer, has announced its departure from a prominent auto industry lobby. This withdrawal reflects growing discontent with the lobby’s opposition to a crucial proposed vehicle efficiency standard, seen as pivotal for environmental progress.

The proposed standard aims to elevate vehicle efficiency benchmarks, crucial for reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change. However, the lobby’s vigorous campaign against it has drawn criticism from eco-conscious automakers like Polestar and Tesla, who view such regulations as imperative for sustainable development.
