This Audi EV Set A Guinness World Record By Driving 831 Miles Without Recharging

The latest world record for the longest drive on a single charge didn't come from a Lucid, or Tesla, or even that funky new Volkswagen thing. Nope, it came from an ordinary Audi A6 E-Tron, the automaker announced on Thursday. Rally driver Miko Marczyk was the one behind the wheel, and he had to go all the way to Hel and back to do it. Hel, Poland, that is.

Marczyk set out in a standard Audi A6 e-tron Sportback on September 11 at 1:55 a.m, and drove it across Poland. The route snaked along the Vistula river to Hel, which sits on a peninsula in the Baltic Sea. He then turned around and came back. On just one charge, his A6 E-Tron Sportback covered 831 miles, making for an average efficiency of 7.09 kWh per 100 km (8.76 miles per kWh). The total drive took 45 hours, with an average ambient temperature of around 15 degrees Celsius.

Last year, Lucid claimed the Guinness World Record for the longest drive in an EV, covering 749 miles from Switzerland to Germany. The Air Grand Touring used in that test is America's rangiest EV, with an EPA rating north of 500 miles.

" As with any of these ultra-long EV range tests, we can only assume that slow speeds played a role. Cruising at highway speeds, there's no way the E-Tron would have gone this far. Same goes for the Lucid or the Chevy Silverado EV that GM engineers drove over a thousand miles.
