Electric Vehicle-SUV Polestar 3 sets Guinness World Record for longest distance covered on a single electric charge
The Polestar 3 Long Range Single Motor has made history by breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest journey travelled by an electric SUV on a single charge. The record-breaking journey, which took place on public roads in the UK, was adjudicated by Guinness World Records judge, Paulina Sapinska.
The Polestar 3 Long Range Single Motor, equipped with a 111kWh battery, surpassed the previous record-holder, the Ford Mustang Mach-E, by covering a distance of 935.44km. The journey, which lasted 22 hours and 57 minutes, was driven in mixed weather conditions, including rain, and on standard 20-inch wheels fitted with standard Michelin Sport 4 EV tyres.
The professional efficiency drivers, Sam Clarke, Kevin Booker, and Richard Parker, took turns every 3 hours to maintain alertness during the attempt. They managed to achieve an efficiency of 12.1kWh/100km during the record-breaking journey.
The Polestar 3 Long Range Single Motor, the entry point to the Polestar 3 lineup in New Zealand, has a power output of 220kW and a torque of 490Nm. It reached a charger before ultimately stopping its journey, but not before delivering an extra 12.8km after showing 0% battery.
Webfleet provided documentation, independently verified video footage, odometer readings, GPS readings, and battery level data for the Polestar 3's record attempt. No modifications were made to the Polestar 3 for the record attempt.
The Polestar 3 achieved its WLTP figure of 706km with 20% of its battery capacity still available, demonstrating its impressive range capabilities. The starting price of the Polestar 3 Long Range Single Motor in New Zealand is $149,990.
With this record-breaking achievement, the Polestar 3 has proven itself as a leader in the electric SUV market, offering both performance and efficiency in one package.
