The Polestar 3 Long Range Single motor, unmodified and in production form, has set a new Guinness World Record by travelling 935.44 km (581.3 miles) on a single charge on UK public roads. The journey took 22 hours and 57 minutes in mixed weather conditions, including rain.
A production-model Polestar 3 Long Range Single Motor set a Guinness World Record by driving 935.44 km (581.3 miles) on a single charge. The 22-hour and 57-minute journey, overseen by a Guinness World Records adjudicator, demonstrated the SUV's real-world efficiency of 12.1 kWh per 100 km. This achievement highlights the increasing feasibility of long-distance electric SUV travel.
The SUV achieved an efficiency of 12.1 kWh per 100 km (19.5 kWh per 100 miles). Professional efficiency drivers Sam Clarke, Kevin Booker, and Richard Parker rotated every three hours to maintain focus. The vehicle reached its official WLTP range of 706 km with 20% battery remaining and continued for 12.8 km after the battery indicated zero before charging.
The record attempt was overseen by a Guinness World Records adjudicator, with documentation verified through video footage, odometer readings, GPS tracking, and battery level data. The Polestar 3 came standard with 20-inch wheels and Michelin Sport 4 EV tyres, and received no modifications. The AA supported the attempt.
The 935 km record exceeds official WLTP and EPA ratings, demonstrating significant advances in real-world battery efficiency and management. It highlights how long-distance travel in electric SUVs is increasingly feasible.
The use of an unmodified production model, standard tyres, and independent verification strengthens the credibility of the result. It also reflects progress in electric powertrain development, aerodynamics, and energy optimisation strategies.
The Polestar 3’s record-breaking drive showcases the potential for extended range in real-world electric SUV use. The vehicle combines efficient powertrain performance, aerodynamic design, and functional technology in a production-ready model without modifications.
