Polestar’s new Polestar 3 Long Range Single Motor has been certified by Guinness World Records after covering 935.44 kilometres (about 581 miles) on public roads in the United Kingdom on a single charge. Three professional drivers completed the run in 22 hours 57 minutes, rotating every three hours, and logged average energy use of 12.1 kWh per 100 kilometres. The vehicle was a standard production model fitted with factory 20-inch wheels and Michelin Sport EV tyres; no modifications were made, according to the record adjudicator. The feat underscores rapid advances in battery efficiency and comes as charging infrastructure in the United States accelerates even after the Trump administration dialled back some federal incentives. Wall Street Journal columnist Christopher Mims reported completing a 1,600-mile road trip in an electric SUV without experiencing range anxiety, attributing the confidence to a nationwide build-out of fast chargers that analysts expect to triple over the next four years. Together, the record-setting endurance run and the expanding charger network suggest that obstacles to long-distance electric-vehicle travel are receding, intensifying competitive pressure on rivals such as Tesla, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz to extend range and secure charging capacity.
