Polestar 3 EV Adds 800V/350kW Charging and Drops Torque-Vectoring Clutch

Polestar has updated the Polestar 3 with an 800V electrical architecture, faster charging and a drivetrain revision that removes the rear torque-vectoring clutch pack.

Peak charging rises from 250kW to 350kW while usable battery capacity falls from 107kWh to 103kWh on Dual Motor and Performance models and to 90kWh on the Rear Motor version.

Polestar changed the front motor to an asynchronous unit and made the rear motor more efficient, which eliminated the clutch’s disconnect role; engineers also softened the front suspension and recalibrated the electric power steering.

Polestar says the updates improve driving dynamics, and the reviewer who drove Rear Motor, Dual Motor and Performance examples found the Polestar 3 remained a sharp, dynamic large EV with strong grip and turn-in response.
