Overview
- The stock Polestar 3 Long Range Single Motor completed 581.3 miles on a single charge in 22 hours and 57 minutes during an efficiency-focused run.
- It surpassed its 438-mile WLTP rating with 20 percent battery remaining and covered an extra eight miles after the display reached zero percent.
- Three professional efficiency drivers rotated every three hours over mostly flat UK public roads in mixed weather, while AA support and Webfleet’s logged GPS, video and battery data ensured verification and safety.
- The run averaged consumption of about 19.5 kWh per 100 miles (5.13 miles/kWh), illustrating how real-world testing can outperform lab-based range estimates under controlled conditions.
- The SUV-specific Guinness record complements longer single-charge runs by other EV classes—such as Lucid Air’s 749-mile sedan drive and GM’s non-adjudicated 1,000-mile Silverado test—highlighting the role of vehicle category and methodology.
