Longest electric car trip ends
- A Dutchman completed an epic 95,000 km journey by electric car in Sydney in a bid to prove the viability of such vehicles in tackling climate change.
- Wiebe Wakker drove his retrofitted station wagon nicknamed “The Blue Bandit” across 33 countries in what he said was the world’s longest-ever journey by electric car.
- The trip from the Netherlands to Australia took just over three years and was funded by public donations from around the world, including electricity to charge the Bandit, food and a place to sleep.
