Polestar starts US production of single-motor variant

Swedish EV manufacturer Polestar has started US production of the long-range single-motor variant of its Polestar 3 SUV at the plant near Charleston, South Carolina, that it shares with Volvo.

The model has a certified WLTP range of up to 438 miles and a certified EPA range of up to 350 miles. It uses the same 111 kWh battery pack as the dual-motor version and has the same 250 kW peak charging capability. The motor produces 220 kW and 490 Nm of torque and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. The long-range single-motor variant uses the same Brembo braking system as the rest of the Polestar 3 range. It comes with a new entry price in Germany of €79,890.

“This new entry point for our full-sized flagship electric SUV means Polestar 3 is now accessible to even more consumers than before,” said Polestar CEO Michael Lohscheller.
