The drive will make it the first drive of such kind by a vehicle.
A United Kingdom couple is set to undertake a 17,000-mile trip from the magnetic North Pole in the Artic to the
in Antarctica. The expedition, named the 'Pole to Pole' will be completed by traversing three continents and 14 countries using an electric vehicle for ten months. The drive will make it a vehicle's first expedition of such kind.The husband and wife combination of Chris and Julie Ramsey from Aberdeen describes it as a journey to raise awareness of the climate crisis, and the critical role electric vehicles can play in reducing our carbon footprint.
The crew expects to experience many cultures and communities, "investigating solutions for sustainability issues, from polar melting to habitat loss and the environmental threats posed by the climate crisis," according to the expeditionThe expedition aims to break myths about the versatility of EVs compared to conventional internal combustion engine-powered automobiles. The team hopes to dispel notions of range anxiety and driving conditions.
The team has devised solutions to harness wind and solar energy to facilitate charging in areas with scant electricity infrastructure on the expedition. "There will be a wind turbine and full double solar on this device which will be towed along, harnessing the renewable energy sources - the wind and the sun - to power the car."In partnership with Nissan, the team has developed an adventure-ready version of the new Ariya electric SUV for the 17,000-mile mission.
However, the Pole to Pole teams expects extreme terrains and environments, ice fields, deep snow, steep mountain climbs, and barren desert dunes. To counter this, the Nissan has "modified the suspension and widened the wheel arches" to enhance the stability and support the wider 39-inch all-purpose tires for added traction in challenging conditions.
