Hey, remember the crazy Imperial College kids in the Racing Green
Endurance team, the ones who took a perfectly wonderful Radical racer
and stripped it of its internal-combustion assets, flew it to Alaska,
and then pledged to drive it all the way down the Pan-American
Highway? Well, they made it. 26,000km later (that's 16,155 miles) the
team has reached Ushuaia, Argentina, at the southern tip of South
America and a long, long way from Anchorage. Traveling an average of
300km (186 miles) per day the team conquered desert, jungle, and
torrential rain storms, conditions the purely electric and decidedly
track-focused machine certainly wasn't meant for, but proving that an
EV can be driven way beyond its maximum range -- if you don't mind
taking nearly six months to do it.
[Thanks, Amanda]
