Electreon announced a new world record for the longest time and distance ever driven (non-stop) by a passenger Electric Vehicle (EV). During their 100-hour demonstration a few days ago, a Toyota Rav4 covered an impressive 1,942 km (1,206 miles) using Electreon’s proprietary Wireless Electric Road technology.
This milestone proves that Electreon’s wireless charging technology effectively addresses two key challenges in the EV transition: range anxiety and battery size. It eliminates range anxiety enabling an endless drive, demonstrating that even a compact 18 kWh battery size is no longer a limiting factor in EV adoption.
The Electreon team expected to drive around 1,500 km (approximately 932 miles) in their 5-day driving rally. However, they successfully completed the demonstration with 33% more driven kilometres.
