What Car? journalists Neil Winn and Doug Revolta have set a new world record for the most countries visited in 24 hours in an electric car.
The record road trip covered 14 countries in a 2022 Porsche Taycan, starting in the Netherlands and ending in Serbia.
The unmodified Porsche Taycan (Performance Battery Plus) was chosen for the challenge required seven charge stops at ultra-rapid 350kW Ionity chargers along the 1199-mile journey.
Aside from these brief charge stops, the pair drove the Taycan non-stop for 24 hours, passing through Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Germany, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary and Bosnia.
Neil Winn, Deputy Reviews Editor for What Car?, said: “The European road trip has an electric future. Our epic journey has shown that the rise of electric cars doesn’t mean a mega-mile cross-continental holiday is off the cards."
Steve Huntingford, editor of What Car?, added: “We hear a lot from our readers about electric car charging problems, range anxiety and general trepidation over long-distance journeys in some electric cars. But this outstanding record-breaking run shows that the European road trip should live long into the electric future."
