Polestar 3 Enters Production With Impressive EPA-Certified Range

Polestar, the Swedish offshoot of Volvo owned by Chinese Geely, has begun production of its third vehicle,

The brand’s second all-electric vehicle after the Polestar 2 sedan, the 3 is the Polestar’s flagship SUV. But, despite having roots in both Sweden and China, the Polestar 3 will be built for North America at Volvo’s Charleston, South Carolina plant, alongside its close cousin,

. In addition to its first trip down the factory line, The Polestar has also been granted official range ratings from the EPA.

The Polestar 3 Offers Up To 350 Miles Of Range

The Polestar 3 uses a large, 111-kilowatt-hour battery — only this “Long Range” version is available at launch — but range depends on the vehicle’s configuration. That 350-mile figure is reserved for the Long Range Single Motor. That single electric motor zaps the rear wheels with 299 horsepower and 361 pound-feet of torque, good for a 0-60 time of 7.5 seconds and a top speed of 112 miles per hour.

Polestar 3 Long Range Dual Motor Performance Specifications

The Long Range Dual Motor gets all-wheel drive, 489 horses and 620 pound-feet of torque. 0-60 happens in 4.8 seconds, with a top speed of 130 mph. Unsurprisingly, the EPA range is affected by the extra output, with a still-respectful rating of 315 miles on a charge. Ticking the box for the optional Performance Pack takes power up to 517 horses and 671 pound-feet, while dropping the 0-60 sprint to 4.5 seconds, but the range sinks to (a still not terrible) 279 miles.

Regardless of trim, the Polestar 3 Long Range enjoys a peak charging rate of 250 kW at a capable DC charger, which can recharge the battery from 10 to 80 percent in 30 minutes.
