Video Summary
The electric car test is comparing Polestar 3 and Polestar 4The tested cars are both long-range, dual-motor performance versions on 22-inch wheels. The route in Spain is about an hour and a half south of Madrid. It is around 100 meters taller in elevation compared to the home route in Norway
The test aims to do ABA testing to reduce wind and elevation variations
There is no considerable wind today, with calm winds around 1-2 meters per second
At halfway, driving in both cars after 41km showed that the Polestar 3 consumes more electricity than Polestar
The Polestar 4 has lower consumption due to smaller size and shape. A full comparison video is planned to cover the exterior, interior, and driving experience.
The usable battery capacity of the Polestar 3 is 107 kWh. The Polestar 4 has a 94 kWh usable capacity
Road noise is equivalent, although the Polestar 3 has better air suspension and is plusher and softer than the Polestar 4. The road test was done with 72% stated charge
Both cars ended up with 24% battery status at the IONITY station. The charging power throttled down to 111kw/114kw at the charging station with both cars plugged in
The theoretical range of the Polestar 4 at the end of the test was 388 kilometers, whereas the Polestar 3 should be able to make 407 kilometers.
