Electric vehicle brand Polestar is scaling back its presence in China, running down its store network and exiting a sales and marketing joint venture with a local company.

Polestar Chief Executive Officer Michael Lohscheller said the Swedish-origin carmaker, which is part of billionaire Li Shufu’s auto empire, has decided on a different set up in the world’s largest vehicle market.
