Is it possible to travel around the world with an electric car? According to Xavier Degon and Antonin Guy, two young engineers the response is: Yes You Can. These two guys have decided to try this venture and started in March from Strasbourg, a journey of 25,000 miles in 8 months, through 17 countries and at a cost of only $ 250 for electricity. Their traveling companion was the Citroen C-Zero, the 100% electric city car. “If an electric car can travel around the world, then anyone can use it to go to the grocery store,” is the slogan of the 27 year old Degon, one of the great ‘fans’ of the sustainable mobility.

This trip will pass through the Rocky Mountains, the heart of Japan, the Silk Road between China and Kazakhstan, and Central Europe, with the goal of returning home after 200 days and 300 recharges. You will also need the help of the local people, since, through the website of the event, two pioneers asked everyone who was on their way to become a “plugger”, the provided an outlet to contribute to the success of their enterprise. Remains only one thing to say: Enjoy your trip!
