Overview

  • The unmodified Polestar 3 Long Range Single Motor completed a 581.3-mile (935.4-km) journey on UK public roads in 22 hours and 57 minutes, exceeding its official WLTP range by nearly 20%.
  • Drivers Sam Clarke, Kevin Booker and Richard Parker rotated every three hours over mostly flat A- and B-roads and dual carriageways to maintain efficiency.
  • The SUV maintained an average energy consumption of 19.5 kWh per 100 miles (5.13 miles per kWh) despite mixed weather, including rain.
  • Guinness judge Paulina Sapinska oversaw the attempt while Webfleet independently verified video, odometer, GPS and battery-charge data and the AA provided safety support.
  • Polestar is using the certified result to demonstrate advances in real-world EV range as automakers stage similar extreme-range tests.
