thewayneIt did take nine months and a bit of planning.
The car is a heavily modified Nissan Ariya, and they drove from the 1823 Magnetic North Pole to the South Pole in about nine months. North America was fairly easy for charging, South America was a bit dicey but they worked an agreement with an electric charging company to establish chargers in their corridor that the company will maintain for the people in the area and for future rally racers. When they didn't have chargers, they had a wind turbine and solar panels to power up their battery. When all else failed, they had a petrol generator and a support truck.
In 2017, the couple completed the Mongol Challenge in a modified Nissan Leaf, driving 10,000 miles in 56 days in a vehicle that does 90 miles in one charge!
Pretty intrepid people there! And they certainly like a driving holiday!
