The Mira EV completed a 1000 km run on a single battery charge non-stop, powered by Sanyo’s lithium-ion battery systems. This is a new world record. The experiment took place on the world’s longest race course in Shimotsuma in Japan. This long marathon driving was accomplished by a team of 17 auto-racers from a training school in Ibraki, Japan. The marathon was organised by the Japan Electric Vehicle Club.
Electric vehicles are already on the road for some time now, but they weren’t able to travel very far because of their limited battery power. But now Sanyo’s lithium-ion battery technology has made it possible for Mira EV to travel 1003.184 km without a recharge. Traveling for 27.5 hours, at 40 km/h average speed, from May 22 to May 23, 2010, the trail run by Mira EV was powered by putting together 8320 cylindrical lithium-ion 18650-type batteries.
