OUR BIGGEST ELECTRIC CAR CHALLENGE EVER! 1400 MILES IN 48 HOURS INCLUDING THE NC500

EV Channels Review

EV Man (EVM) undertakes an ambitious 1,400-mile challenge in 48 hours, aiming to debunk the myth that long journeys are difficult in electric vehicles. The core of the challenge involves completing the North Coast 500 (NC500) in Scotland within 24 hours, starting and ending in Inverness, and then returning home, all without pre-planning. EVM successfully completes the NC500 in an impressive 16 hours and 20 minutes, significantly beating the target. The overall 1,400-mile journey is completed in approximately 43 hours, including a hotel sleep, demonstrating the feasibility of extensive travel in an EV. Key takeaways highlight the ease of charging, the significant cost savings compared to petrol/diesel vehicles (estimated £60-£65 vs. £160-£200), and the enjoyment of the scenic route despite some charging network hiccups and adverse weather conditions like fog. The reviewer concludes that range anxiety and charging difficulties are no longer valid excuses for not leasing an EV.
