Electric car completes marathon journey
An electric car has made a 26 000 kilometer marathon journey, having crossed 14 countries in four months without any use of petrol or diesel.
A group of university students drove the tiny sport car from Fairbanks in Alaska and finished their trip in Ushuaia, Argentina.
The car, which had two twin engines running on batteries, reached a speed of 200 kilometers per hour and could cover about 300 kilometers a day.
Tony Hadland, a crew member, admits that one of the top moments of the journey was driving about 8 hours at night through the tropical rain. According to the crew member Toby Schulz, the electric car could be a solution for a more sustainable future.
This electric car attracted lots of attention in Argentina, because it provided a good example of usage of alternative energy sources.
