Electric Nissan Ariya to go from North Pole to South Pole
Do not try this at home! Chris Ramsey, who is behind the adventure and will be driving the
Nissan Ariya, clearly does not pay attention to those warnings. Only a few years ago, together with his wife, he completed the Mongol Rally in the older version of a
Nissan Leaf. Yes - 16,000 kilometers (9,940 miles) in an electric car across Europe and Asia. Range anxiety? Probably never heard of it.
It looks like the 16,000 km trek across Asia and Europe wasn’t enough to deter Mr Ramsey from more electric adventures as Nissan just announced it is going to partner with the adventurer on his journey from North Pole to South Pole.
The vehicle of choice for this adventure is Nissan Ariya which will have to be significantly modified to cope with the environment. Mongol Rally, despite being tough, is like a walk in a park compared to what is waiting for Chris on the 27,000 km (16,777 miles) drive.
Only around a third of that distance will be on paved roads, the only support will be offered by a non-modified Ariya which will accompany the adventurer while driving through North and South America. For the rest of the journey there will be no support available.
27,000 kilometers across two continents and through some of the most extreme weather, Nissan Ariya plans to take on a journey that has never been completed in an electric car.
