New Guinness record for EV range


A Guinness World Record has been set by a Polestar 3 electric car for the longest journey travelled by an EV SUV on a single charge, writes Brian Byrne. The unmodified car achieved a distance of 935.44km.

The record was set in the UK by professional efficiency drivers Sam Clarke, Kevin Booker and Richard Parker, who switched every 3 hours to maintain alertness.

The attempt took 22 hours and 57 minutes to complete in mixed weather conditions, including rain.

The single motor car received zero modifications for the attempt and was on standard 20-inch wheels fitted with standard Michelin Sport 4 EV tyres. The AA supported the attempt.
