First Atom Electric Vehicle Tested at North Pole – Worked in -40C

In a groundbreaking Arctic expedition, Russia’s Atom electric vehicle has successfully reached the North Pole, enduring 10 days of extreme conditions with temperatures plunging to -40°C. This historic mission, led by Rosatom and its electromobility division, was not just a test of technology—but a bold statement about the future of electric vehicles in even the most unforgiving environments. The Atom EV’s performance under harsh, salty, and windy Arctic conditions highlights both Russian innovation and the nation’s growing strategic interest in Arctic exploration and infrastructure development.
