Chadstone Shopping Center In southeast Melbourne it will soon be home to electric vehicle specialist Polestar, with a storefront in the same Tesla complex.

Polestar – owned by China’s Geely Group, which also owns Volvo and Lotus – has announced that it will open a “Polestar Space” at the end of this year, with a deadline to be confirmed.

While the new Chadstone store isn’t Polestar’s first retail location – with locations in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Hobart – it is the brand’s first permanent ‘space’ in Australia.
