If you believe electric vehicles can’t cover long distances on a single charge, think again! We have an incredible story to share about smashing an electric vehicle world record. We had the privilege of capturing an extraordinary event with the Guinness World Records team. A group of dedicated drivers in an electric van accomplished a feat that surpassed all expectations.

Breaking Boundaries:

Not only did these drivers exceed the published total range of the Fiat E-Scudo by a significant margin, but they also shattered the existing world record held by an American driver in a vehicle with a much larger battery. It was an awe-inspiring accomplishment that showcased the true potential of electric vehicles.

The Power of Efficiency:

One might wonder how this remarkable achievement was possible. The key lies in driving efficiently and conservatively. By driving with a light foot, looking ahead and avoiding harsh breaking and aggressive acceleration, these drivers managed to unlock a substantial amount of extra range in their electric vehicle. The result was astonishing, as they showcased the capability of the Fiat E-Scudo to travel long distances.

A Tesla Model Y Chase Car:

My team of content ninjas at Generate Media were asked to capture the action, so during the record-setting event, we saw the whole thing unfold from our camera car – the superb Tesla Model Y. 

Starting the day with a range of 300 miles, we proved to be an excellent companion, matching the Fiat E-Scudo around the loop of Peterborough. 

Setting off around 7am and finishing as the sun set around 9pm, our epic journey was a chilled one to say the least. Rarely exceeding 30mph… standard for anyone living in London! 

Despite the extensive drive, we still had an impressive 75 miles of battery range left at the end of the day in the Tesla. The numbers speak for themselves, highlighting the potential of electric vehicles for various applications.

Congratulations to the Electric Vehicle World Record-Breakers:

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Fergal McGrath, Kevin Booker, and Sam Clarke for their unwavering dedication and super-efficient driving skills. Their determination and passion have not only set a new world record but also inspired others to believe in the immense capabilities of electric vehicles.

Beyond Urban Use – Electrifying Commercial Vehicles:

This achievement also emphasises the importance of transitioning to electric vehicles for commercial purposes. Commercial vehicles spend more time on the road than any other vehicle category. Therefore, they play a significant role in shaping our transportation landscape. Embracing electric commercial vehicles will lead to reduced emissions, cleaner air, and a more sustainable future.

Conclusion:

The electric vehicle world record shattered over the weekend proves that electric vehicles are more than capable of covering remarkable distances on a single charge. With a focus on efficiency and a commitment to embracing sustainable transportation solutions, we can make the shift to electric vehicles sooner rather than later. Let this record-setting accomplishment inspire us all to contribute to a greener, cleaner world with the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.
