#369 LEJOGEV Gareth and Zog take the challenge of driving from Land’s End to John O’Groats in an electric vehicle. Will the public recharging network, our carefully calculated strategy and the Hyundai Kona we are doing it in allow us to set a new record?
Recharging at The Chateau Impney Hotel
We Made It, But Did We Break The Record?
Here are the stats:
We covered 893 miles en route.
We used 298kWh, (just under £60) of electricity, allowing for the charge in the battery when we left Land's End.
Total time for the journey 22 Hours & 44 mins
Total time spent charging 6 hours 13 min
Approx average road speed (whilst running) of 54.12 mph
