RE: 9 hours to drive 130 miles in an EV Porsche29 Nov 2020 10:25
Has anyone here watched the latest "Long Way Up" series in which the two wheeling globetrotting duo, Ewan McGreggor and Charlie Boreman embark on another adventure... BUT this time adamant on using Electric Vehicles! Riding from the tip of South America, all the way up to Los Angeles, U.S.A.
What surprised me the most was the fact that they settled on an EV bike, albeit a prototype model, designed by the legendary Harley Davidson..renowned for it's gas guzzling beefy looking bike legacy! This fact alone is a massive endorsement of how the industry is moving more towards green energy... and the investment into the charging and Battery tech!
The series itself was massively enjoyable to watch, outlining all the trial and tribulations associated with the upkeep of charging vehicles in countries where there is still more of a focus on relying on petrol engines. I must also add they, (the team), insisted on using EV support vehicles, and settled on the up and coming EV pickup truck company "Rivian", which also presented challenges for the guys in South America!
Very enjoyable to watch, and highly recommended!
