The Polestar 3 Long Range Single Engine has driven into the history books, covering over 935 km on UK roads without recharging — smashing expectations for electric SUV range.
Record-Breaking Journey Across the UK
In an officially verified test, the Polestar 3 travelled 935.44 km (581.3 miles) on a single charge, under real driving conditions, with no modifications to the vehicle.
Almost 23 Hours Behind the Wheel
The journey lasted 22 hours and 57 minutes, with the SUV navigating UK main roads through counties including Norfolk, Leicestershire, and Cambridgeshire.
Weather Put Range to the Test
Conditions varied from clear skies to rain, adding realism to the trial and proving the SUV’s capability in mixed weather scenarios.
Energy Efficiency That Impresses
The Polestar 3 achieved an average consumption of just 12.1 kWh per 100 km — an outstanding figure for a large electric SUV.
Three Drivers, One Goal
Professional efficiency drivers Sam Clarke, Kevin Booker, and Richard Parker rotated every three hours to stay focused and consistent throughout the record attempt.
Beyond the Official Range
The SUV exceeded its WLTP-rated 706 km range with 20% battery remaining, and even travelled an extra 12.8 km after hitting 0% before reaching a charger.
Verified by Guinness World Records
An official Guinness judge, with support from Webfleet’s GPS and battery monitoring, confirmed the achievement — using standard Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyres on 20-inch wheels.
A Boost for EV Confidence
Polestar says the record proves the brand’s technological progress, showing that large EVs can deliver impressive real-world range — a key factor for many buyers.
