All EVs by Volvo and polestar are made at one factory in shandong, so they are made at least with Geely manufacturing influence.

Nah.

The EX90 is being built in South Carolina for the US market. Polestar 3 and 4 will also be built there.

XC40 and C40 Recharge are built in Ghent, Belgium. The EX30 will also be manufactured there starting in 2025.

Somewhat complete list here[0], but it's not including the US-built Polestar 3 and 4 which were announced in 2021. Maybe those plans have changed, not sure. Also if the US EV incentives were to go away, see planned US production to diminish across the board.

The battery production plant joint venture (with Northvolt) is being constructed outside of Gothenburg, Sweden.

That’s new. Even if the incentive goes away, the tariff will still make production outside of China (in Mexico or the USA) worthwhile for Geely.
