Polestar 3 sets Guinness World Record for longest journey travelled by an electric SUV on a single charge

Polestar’s large electric SUV, the Polestar 3, has broken the Guinness World Record for longest journey travelled by an electric SUV on a single charge.

Achieving 935.44 km (581.3 miles), the recently launched Long range Single motor variant was pushed to its limits.

The attempt took 22 hours and 57 minutes to complete in mixed weather conditions including rain and the Polestar 3 achieved an efficiency of 12.1 kWh/100 km (19.5 kWh /100 miles).

The professional efficiency drivers Sam Clarke, Kevin Booker and Richard Parker switched every 3 hours to maintain alertness.

The Polestar 3 achieved its WLTP figure of 706 km (438 miles) with 20% of its battery capacity still available and delivered an extra 12.8 km (8 miles) after showing 0% battery – but the Polestar 3 reached a charger before ultimately stopping.
