Electric vehicles are the environment saviors, undoubtedly. However, one of the biggest afflictions that EVs face to get that equal share on the road with their gas guzzling counterparts is their limited battery life. But the Japan Electric Vehicle Club (Japan EV Club), a civic group based in Tokyo, has a different story to tell. To the delight of the environmentally conscious people, the club customized Mira EV to make it travel exactly 1,003.184 km without a charge. The club to claim a new entry in the Guinness World Record, as it’s shattered its own record from last month when Mira EV drove 555.6km from Tokyo to Osaka on a single charge. The all electric Mira EV was powered by a Sanyo lithium-ion battery that was designed by assembling 8,320 cylindrical lithium-ion batteries. Batteries provided enough juice to the car to run for 27 and a half hour at around 40km/h on average.
