Overview
- The Polestar 3 achieved a Guinness World Record for the longest single-charge distance by an electric SUV, covering 581.3 miles (935.44 km) on UK public roads.
- The test used an unmodified Long Range Single Motor Polestar 3 with a 111 kWh usable battery and standard 20-inch Michelin Sport 4 EV tyres, verified by a Guinness judge and Webfleet-collected data.
- Three professional efficiency drivers rotated every three hours over a 22 hour 57 minute run along mostly flat roads near Norwich, maintaining an average speed of about 25 mph in mixed weather.
- The SUV matched its 438-mile WLTP range with 20 percent battery remaining and delivered an extra eight miles after the display hit zero, averaging about 19.5 kWh per 100 miles (12.1 kWh per 100 km).
- Experts note that such records depend heavily on vehicle class, route choice, driving profile and conditions—similar to recent Lucid and GM runs—demonstrating technical potential rather than typical daily range.
