The Prius may be the go-to standard for fuel efficiency with a few cult circles preferring lesser known hybrids. But none of that matters as all current “Green” cars pale in comparison to what Japan Electric Vehicle Group achieved.
These talented folks managed to take their Mira EV over 1,000km (~620 miles) on a single charge…
…1003.184 to be exact.
The feat was accomplished at a test track in Shimotsuma, Japan and took a full 27.5 hours to complete with an average speed of only 40kmh. Talk about determination. 40km/h isn’t fast at all. Add in the fact that you’re sitting there crawling along at 40km/h can only mean one very, very long day for the drivers.
Powering this record beater is a Sanyo lithium-ion battery that is roughly equal to 8,320 cylindrical batteries found in your typical hybrid/electronic.
