ACCIONA 100% EcoPowered Becomes First EV To Finish Dakar Rally! – videos
Covering a ~5,600 mile route through Paraguay, Bolivia and Argentina would be a major achievement in any electric car, but imagine attempting that in a rally competition, and all the while over extreme off-road conditions, with limited charging opportunities. Truly an amazing feat.
We should note that the ACCIONA finished the 2017 Dakar in 57th (and last place), but more than one-fourth of all teams didn't finished at all.
Result Time: 111:21:18 (82:31:48 plus 41:00:00 Penalty).
The car itself is equipped with a 150 kWh battery and 250 kWelectric motor, with the battery lasting for just around 120 miles per charge (200 km) on the rough terrain, so recharging was key.
