in this video, we are doing the world's first range test of the brand new postar 3 long-range dual motor. I went into this video and this test with really high expectations, and my god did this brand new postar 3 deliver. So guys, this is an exciting video with great results, and I'm really glad to be the first in the world to present a full range test of the brand new postar 3. So without further ado, let's find out how far this car can go on a full charger battery at a constant 120 kph or 75 M an hour on the motorway. On July 15th, we are doing a giveaway to celebrate 50,000 subscribers here on the channel in collaboration with septic and then partnering up with postar as postar's recommended home charger. We are giving away two septic go home Chargers. To enter, simply subscribe to this channel and comment down below I want a septic go home charger. Thanks septic for sponsoring this video. Welcome to the postar 3 long range.

dual motor. So, I'm here in Spain, right outside of Madrid, at the world premiere launch or drive of the Postar 3 and the Postar 4. And I've been able to make quite a few videos, and I'm actually on my way to the airport, going back to Norway in a few hours. So, I've spent the rest of the day here going to do a range test. And usually, I do these range tests where we do ABA testing. So, we start one place, we go a different place, and then we go back to where we started. And this is to account for differences in elevation and also wind direction. But on our way from well, the media hub where we've been filming a lot of these cars, and back here, it's been fine. But there was an accident on the way back. So, I think we're going to try to loop a different place. But I know we started at 1200 M. So, we're going to try to loop around towards the airport, and then get back to the same elevation.

we can have as close to a fair range test as possible, but you know this test and the test I've done down here. I did one with this car. I've also done one with the Ker Tavascan in Barcelona, and also this that video is going to go out later with the Postar 4. It's not going to be a one-to-one comparison with the tests I do back home in Norway because I have my standardized route is over 200 km. We're on the road for more than 2 hours. I don't have time to do that now because I said I have to go back to the airport. So this is going to give you guys a very close approximation to what you can expect, but it's not going to be a one-to-one comparison. But like in Spain in summer, the weather is pretty nice here. 25° C outside now, sunny, sunny weather, and also a very weak wind of about 1 m per second, which is a headwind in the direction we're headed now. So we're probably going to try to go.

east, so that's a crosswind, so that won't affect us too much. So, a little bit of an update, let's jump into the menu here to get the consumption. So, after about 20 minutes on the road, I'm guessing now our average consumption is pretty low at 14.1 kilowatt-hours per 100 km. But I'm also suspecting that we're at a very low elevation of about 800 m, so we'll be going downhill. So, that's where we're going to try to go uphill, we're going to try to change up the direction so it's more representative of what you can expect in the real world. So, that very low consumption of 14.0 kilowatt-hours per 100 km isn't realistic yet. Okay, guys, we've now gone for almost an hour. I don't know the exact kilometers, we're going to check that in a second, but we're going to turn around now. We tried to climb in elevation, but I have a limited amount of time, and we're now at

628 km. And let's go into the menu here to see the trip and the bottom. There 100 km and 18.6 kwatt hours per 100 km. And that is really impressive. But keep in mind that at the beginning of this trip, we were dropping like from 1200 M down to yeah to 600 M. But the upset of that is that we've been driving at an elevation of 600 M for probably the last 880 kilm. So what we're going to do now is that we're going to uh loop back around head towards the airport in Madrid to an ion charger. And then yeah that's about 40 km from here. And then we're going to see what consumption we have then and also connect to an ionity charger and see what charting speed we get with this car after a few hours on the road. Okay guys we are now here at the ionity charging station here in Madrid close to to the airport. So I'm going to turn around the camera now and show you

the actual numbers here. So after 136 km, our average consumption is 20.8 kilowatt hours per 100 km. So that also includes a little bit of driving in traffic here, which usually I don't, you know, count. But because we have that elevation to make up, I think I'm going to include it either way because I think it's more representative of our actual real-world consumption. It was a little bit lower before I had traffic, like 19.8, but I think I'm going to include it because um, I want to get as accurate as possible reading of the consumption of this car as possible. So we're at this Ionity charging station. Let's see if I can just drop my camera right here and then I can connect this. So this is on a 400-volt architecture and should have a peak charging speed of 250 kW, but that is only with a Tesla charger because to get that at, let's see, English, English, sorry, okay, verifying. So to get that 250 kW charging speed, the car has to be

able to take almost 650 amps, and that is only possible at Tesla Chargers, not at normal CCS Chargers, because these peak at 500 amps, and this is something I've had verified by engineers I talked to yesterday at dinner here in Spain. So you're not going to be able to see that charging speed. Now, we're probably going to get closer to 200 KW. So let's see. We're currently at 29% state of charge, and let's see what we're going to get here. So, 100, 125 KW, 196 KW. That is not bad at all. We have not done any preconditioning, but of course, it is like 25-26°C outside, and that's the temperature it has been all day, basically maybe a little bit colder when we started, but yeah, getting 196 KW at 29%, we're getting 196 KW. Okay, guys, now let's take a look at the results, and of course, there are a whole bunch of caveats for these results, and you cannot compare them one to one.

with my normal range test. First off, today's route was a lot shorter. Secondly, we didn't do ABA testing where we start in one place and then we go to another, and then we go back to where we started. The reason why that is so important is because you can account for changes in elevation and also wind direction. But we went like in an SL Loop today, so we should have eliminated most of that wind, only coming from one place, and also only 1 m per second wind according to the wind map. But the big thing today may be that elevation where we started at around 12200 M and then we ended now at 650 M. But for the past maybe 110 km, I'm going to guess 1105 km, we've actually been at the same elevation. So that initial drop in the beginning may not have actually accounted for a lot of that consumption or accounting for lowering that consumption, but maybe just a little bit. So there is all of those caveats. And also we only did 136, well usually we do

216 km, but with all of that out of the way, the pstar 3 long-range dual motor posted a very, very impressive 20.8 Kow hours per 100 k. So if we do the mats, we take the usable battery capacity of this car, 107 KW hours, we divide it by the consumption, and then subtract 3% in heat loss. That gives us a theoretical range under today's conditions of 499 kilomet. And either way, guys, even though if we correct that, that is by far the best results we've ever gotten in any range test. That is super, super, super, super impressive. I can't stress that enough how impressive even with all the caveat. Even if we bring the car back to Norway and the consumption is 10-15% higher, we're still going to have amazing range. I mean, today's results were at 84.5% of the WLTP rated range of this car, which is just amazing. There's nothing else to say. This car is just amazing. So yeah, let me know what you

think down below because I'm pretty excited about today's results. And actually better than what I got with another car. I'm not allowed to talk about yet. So guys, I hope you enjoyed today's video. If you did, please drop me a thumbs up down below. And for more car content, as always, please subscribe. See you guys later and goodbye.
