The Polestar 3 Long Range Dual Motor alongside these alternatives:
Performance
The Polestar 3 Long Range Dual Motor has a maximum power of 360 kW (490 hp / 483 bhp) and a total torque of 840 Nm (620 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 210 km/h (131 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 111.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 107.0 kWh, with a 4.0 kWh buffer (3.6%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 375 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the maximum rated range is 631 km (392 miles). Depending on the configuration and options such as wheel size, the rated range can be as low as 584 km (363 miles). Larger wheels generally increase energy consumption and reduce range.
WLTP energy consumption is 17.0 kWh/100 km for the base configuration and 18.3 kWh/100 km for the highest-consumption configuration.
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 250 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 62 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 34 minutes at an average power of 132 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 0–39%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 129 kW over a session lasting about 19 minutes and 29 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 24 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 22 minutes, needing three charging stops from 0% to 42%, totaling 63 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 9 hours and 43 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
Charge Port
The charge port is on the left rear side. This position suits charging bays where the vehicle reverses toward the charging point.
Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
