World Record EV Run Smashed by Tesla!

EV warrior and down-under rich guy Simon Hackett just smashed the world record for distance driven on a single charge in a production electric vehicle—313 miles! While competing in the bi-annual Global Green Challenge, a cross-continental rally of solar, electric, hybrid, and alternative energy vehicles, Hackett and his co-driver Emilis Prelgauskas simultaneously crushed the previous record of 241 miles, also set in a Tesla Roadster.

Mr. Hackett is a true green enthuz, and we thank all deep-pocketed tree huggers out there for their contributions to the EV evolution/revolution. Without them, we’d be forced to rely on big companies who let corporate agendas and political loyalties cloud their vision. Remember the GM EV1? Our hats are off to you Simon Hackett!
