An Australian-made electric vehicle traveled more than 1,000 km non-stop. –

One of the biggest drawbacks of electric vehicles since their introduction to society has been their range and the fact that you can’t easily extend your car with a quick drive to a gas station to charge it (in some you can… places, but it can take 45 minutes to get a meaningful charge).

Over the years, electric vehicle manufacturers have been developing vehicles with more efficient batteries to solve this problem, and today many leading electric vehicles can provide hundreds of miles on a single battery, while benefiting from fast charging functions. Get back on your way when you need a recharge.

Deciding that wasn’t enough, a team of Australian students have now designed an electric vehicle that can travel over 1,000 km on a single battery. In fact, this car is so efficient that it even managed to get a Guinness World Record.

As reported Top gearCalled the Sunswift 7, the car covered 1,000 km (about 620 miles) at a speed of about 52 mph, a single time of less than 12 hours, and also holds the Australian speed record for electric vehicles. In the process.

The car was created as a replacement for the now-cancelled Solar Challenge (which asked people to drive from north to south of the largest country on solar power), and these students decided to test themselves to build an electric vehicle. 1,000 km in less than 10 hours. Even if he missed that goal, it was still an impressive feat.
