I am thinking of electric finally, and wondered with the polestar offers if they are the way to go.

Is 350 miles for the dual motor, possible?

Car Wow did a recent video where they ran a selection of EVs until they ran out, Polestar LR being one of them, cant remember the final mileage though:

For a 2024 model if you drive matching the WLTP cycle, then yes. A 2023 or before, cloud cuckoo land.

If you want range, you need a 2024 long range single motor. That will get you just over 300 miles at any time of year in mixed or motorway driving.

That’s the single motor long range, not the dual. And they say it’s a 78kWh battery when it’s not, the 2024 cars (smooth grill) are 82kWh. That’ll have skewed their miles/kWh calcs.
