Polestar 3 Sets World Record for Range
Polestar’s electric SUV, the Polestar 3, has set a Guinness World Record for the longest distance traveled by an electric SUV on a single charge. The long range single motor variant covered 935.44 km (581.3 miles) during the attempt.
The drive took 22 hours and 57 minutes in mixed weather, including rain. Efficiency drivers Sam Clarke, Kevin Booker, and Richard Parker took turns at the wheel every three hours. The Polestar 3 met its WLTP range rating of 706 km (438 miles) with 20 percent battery remaining, and continued for another 12.8 km (8 miles) after displaying 0 percent battery before reaching a charger.
The Guinness World Records adjudicator, Paulina Sapinska, oversaw the attempt, which was documented with video, odometer readings, GPS data, and battery logs. The SUV was unmodified, equipped with standard 20-inch wheels and Michelin Sport 4 EV tires. The effort was supported by the AA.
