From Transport Evolved.
We LOVE the idea of road-trips on this channel, and while we’ve always wanted to travel around the world, we’ve reached that point in life where we’re unlikely to make one (for various political and logistical reasons).
But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the trips of the amazing adventurers that are making such trips – and a few weeks ago we were able to meet up with two friends from the UK who are aiming to be the first to drive an electric car (in fact any car) from the Geographic North Pole to the South Pole.
Enter Chris and Julie Ramsey, and their specially-adapted Nissan Ariya e-4orce. They’ve already visited the North Pole – and they’re heading south.
We caught up with them while they were in Portland for Formula E – and here’s the resulting interview!
