How 8 Electric Vehicle Crusaders Set a Guinness World Record
To
make an impact in Sustainability, eight strangers from around the world attempt
to set four Guinness World Records on electric vehicles by proving they are
reliable and viable today. The group took on the seemingly impossible task of crossing
the U.S. using four different types of electric vehicles in the middle of a hot
summer, with no corporate funding and very limited planning. During their
grueling 44 day journey to educate consumers, they encounter numerous obstacles
including weather, injuries, organization, finding power sources, communications
and more but come away with amazing stories about people, places and sustainability
accomplishments.
