A modified BMW made from recycled parts and costing just £10,000 to build has smashed the Guinness Book of World Records title for longest range of an electric vehicle.

The old 3 Series completed 1,600kms (994 miles) at the Auto Club Speedway of California this week on a single charge to break the record.

Comparing it with other electric vehicles,a Tesla has a range of around 300 miles and costs upwards of £50,000 while the cheaper Nissan Leaf will give you around 100 miles before you need to plug it in.

Guiness World Record adjudicator Michael Empric was on hand for the attempt and confirmed it had broken the previous record of 1,298kms (806 miles) made in Japan in 2013.

Dubbed The Phoenix, the car is the brainchild of recycling pioneer Eric Lundgren and was upgraded with 90 per cent recycled parts.
Lundgren founded ITAP,a hybrid recycling plant which re-uses electronic waste.Rather than destroy binned electronics, they extract any reusable parts and put them into new products.Clients include Nintendo, Motorola, Dell and Panasonic.

A spokesman for ITAP said:

"The purpose of The Phoenix is to showcase Hybrid Recycling, and demonstrate to the world the amazing possibilities and potential derived from electronic waste recycling."

What are you seeing please

Wow! 1,600km on a single charge? That's super cool. You can drive from Lagos to Abuja and back to Lagos with that and still have like a quarter charge left.

Wow

Abeg send me 1 sharperly

we understand what you people mean by recycled parts. Come to 9ja and assemble recycled parts lets see if it will move an inch.

That car charge go finish for Mile 2 Traffic if it venture enter Naija

This would definately not work in Nigeria with our recalcitrant power failures...nice invention though!

It should be tested in Nigeria too, if it records 100meters travel time especially on Eastern roads then the guy wins.

Nice

Thank

which light you want take charge am?

someone built a car with less than a fifth of the price of a tesla that goes more than 3 times further on one charge. After now Elon Musk will be forming saviour. Like our own local saviour that is charging us twice the price of cement in the name of self sufficiency.

Gradually the world is weaning itself off fossil fuel..

Naija, I hope you are paying attention. ..

The car wasn't built from scratch bros!

I bet you this car will not run 100miles on Lagos roads, the traffic alone will kill the battery and discourage Guinness world record

Aldebaran:
Nice.. How i wish naija can follow in their steps.. Owode onirin(scrap palace)comes to mind

Exactly what comes to my mind too, Owode Onirin

But over there, the congressional men and women, the governors, billgate and the president are still flying petrol and gas cars and jet. meaning they don't believe on electric jets and cars.

You don't mean it?

Blood of Nigeria! What will happen to our oyel?

Very good! This is the way to go. I see crude oil becoming worthless in the next 10 years and then let me see what the bone of contention as regarding the restructuring of this country will be. No oil...no more money for the north to share

994miles on good road make them try am for ankpa road make we see.

The Varta Batteries that was used for the BMW is the secret. Even their Touchlight or Remote or Toys Batteries lasts like it will never die
