Polestar shows off impressive electric range in challenging winter conditions.
Being a Swedish electric vehicle manufacturer, Polestar’s home is surrounded by the wintry conditions of northern climates, which can prove a daunting challenge for all vehicles, but especially battery-electric vehicles. However, the El Prix 2025 range test is the world’s largest independent winter range test, comparing competitors in challenging Norwegian winter conditions to see how their range estimates compare to reality in tough conditions.
The test was a major success for Polestar, as the Long Range Dual Motor Polestar 3 won the range test, besting 23 competitors with its 330-mile range, within a mere five percent of its WTLP-estimated 349-mile range. The result from the Polestar 3 was the second-best result ever achieved at the El Prix winter range test.
The El Prix is organized by the Norwegian Automobile Federation and Motor Magazine twice yearly, and each annual winter edition of the test provides the added challenge of cold weather and low-traction terrain. Despite the Polestar 3 dominating the event, a new variant of the luxury electric SUV, the Polestar 3 Long Range Single Motor promises even greater driving range, with a WLTP estimate of 439 miles.
