Wetteri and Polestar expand cooperation - new full-service dealership in Kuopio

Wetteri expands its partnership with Polestar by opening a full-service Polestar store in Kuopio. The agreement covers Polestar's sales, maintenance, and spare parts services.

"We are truly delighted that our cooperation is expanding into the important North Savo market area. We have had positive experiences with Polestar for several years now and we see great growth potential in the brand. Polestar sales have been in the pilot phase at our Kuopio location since the beginning of 2025. Now, a stunning Polestar showroom is ready, and in addition, we are able to serve Polestar customers in the area with maintenance and spare parts services. Wetteri's goal is to further strengthen its profile as a retailer of electric vehicles, and our expanding cooperation with Polestar supports this ambition perfectly. We warmly welcome everyone to come and explore the attractive Polestar models at our Kuopio and Oulu locations," says Wetteri's CEO, Pietu Parikka.

"The year 2025 has been a period of strong growth for us - from January to October, our registrations have increased by as much as 104.6 percent compared to the same period last year. It is a pleasure to welcome a strong partner into our network to support the commercially significant North Savo market area. Wetteri has been a reliable partner for us in Oulu since the very beginning of Polestar's journey, demonstrating excellent commitment and outstanding expertise in serving our northern customers. Opening the Kuopio store is a natural continuation of our successful cooperation," says Tommi Luopajärvi, Managing Director of Polestar Finland.

Polestar Kuopio is located at Wetteri's location, Neulalammintie 4. The official grand opening will be held on Thursday, November 6, 2025. In future, full-service Polestar representation will be available at Wetteri's Kuopio and Oulu locations. Additionally, Wetteri acts as Polestar's authorised service partner at locations in Joensuu, Kajaani, Kemi, Kuusamo, Lempäälä, Pori, Rauma and Ylivieska.

Polestar is a Swedish manufacturer of fully electric premium cars, whose new business strategy is based on a more active sales model. With the new strategy, customers are offered the possibility to order a car directly from a Polestar shop, in addition to digital channels.
