Yeah, it’s extremely frustrating here. The EV market actively sucks with limited options and inflated prices. I also bought a used Polestar 2 last year, so now I’m extra frustrated.
My guess, however, is that PS just didn’t care to deal with obtaining the waiver- the brand has sold poorly here in the US and they’ve been posturing to exit the market for a few years.
For some reason Polestar doesn’t seem to be doing as well as it deserves in many markets.
I hope you can have yours maintained as long as is required even if they leave the market.
If they’re priced the same as the US models, it’s little wonder they’re not selling well. MSRP for the P2 was ~70k USD which is a non-starter for most folks.
I got mine used at 4 years old with 74k miles on it (fortunately EVs generally tend to last towards 200k miles barring any other issues) for 20k, it’s the only reason I could afford to buy it. Otherwise I was probably going to go with an ID.4 which was at a similar price point. What did you end up going with?

It was a runner up when we bought our EV.

The price point for electric cars in America is 25-30k. 70K is mentally ill
Chevy Bolt MSRP is $28,995.
Tesla model 3 starts at $38k now. Somehow teslas went from being expensive vehicles to one of the more affordable EVs and no one noticed.
Lol, i’d rather ride one of my mopeds than own a Tesla
