Israeli startup Electreon, claims to have set a world record for the longest EV journey without stopping to charge.

Electreon recently drove a Toyota RAV4 Prime for 100 hours 24 minutes & 15 seconds in EV mode, covering 1,200 miles (1,931 km) without stopping to charge. This was made possible because of the wireless charging pads set up on the road.

During the drive, the wireless charging pads on the roads are said to have transferred 241.69 kWh of energy to the vehicle. The RAV4 Prime, a plug-in hybrid SUV that comes with a small 18.1 kWh battery pack and provides 68 km of all-electric range as standard, was driven an incredible distance split between 55 test drivers from the firm. Reports also suggest that the RAV4 Prime saved 823 pounds of CO2 emissions compared to a regular ICE-powered vehicle.

The driving experiment was conducted by Electreon to showcase the capabilities of wireless vehicle charging technologies. It also proved how even cars with small battery packs can travel long distances without having to stop frequently to charge.

That's an amazing piece of information on the probable future to come for longer miles to crunch on the EVs! Thank you for sharing the same.

Let us hope the tech would be commercially viable for mass production than just a proof of concept kind of project with the ease to execute & maintain on the ground (reality) level probably with little to no complications whatsoever practically.
