Webfleet, a fleet management solutions supplier, has broken the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the longest journey by an electric car on a single charge achieving an impressive 916.74 km (569.64 miles). 

The new benchmark in electric vehicle performance was achieved by Webfleet-sponsored drivers Kevin Booker and Sam Clarke, supported by co-pilot Richard Parker of Webfleet, in a Ford Mustang Mach-E SUV, fitted with Bridgestone tyres. The record attempt was meticulously documented with independently verified video footage, odometer readings, GPS, and battery level data.  

Equipped with a 91kWh battery and boasting a WLTP range of 373 miles, the Mach-E Premium Extended Range SUV RWD Auto, surpassed expectations, averaging 6.25 miles per kilowatt hour (kWh) on public roads throughout Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Cambridgeshire. The drive, completed over 24 hours, included a mix of urban and rural roads to emulate real-world driving conditions.

Bridgestone tyres were seen as a critical component in the world record attempt, offering outstanding mileage and low rolling resistance.

Beverley Wise, Webfleet UKI Regional Director for Bridgestone Mobility Solutions commented, this record represents a significant milestone in the electrification of road transport and demonstrates the potential of electric vehicles when supported by innovative Bridgestone tyre design and advanced fleet management technology.”
