The tour, which was completed on November 12, 2021 and only in the last few days was recognized by the Guinness Book of Records, cost $76.82 in recharges from Electrify America stations.
“Today, I can’t cross the country in a gasoline or diesel vehicle for that small amount, and I’m driving an exotic high-performance sports car,” Wayne Gerdes said at the time.
It develops 598 hp (440 kW), accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/h. But what really stands out is its autonomy of 504 kilometers, the largest in the entire range.
