Climate change: Couple set for Pole-to-Pole electric car challenge Climate change: Couple set for Pole-to-Pole electric car challenge

Seen this guys - which one of you intrepid adventurers wants to to match them in an MG4!!
I’m happy to contribute to a 24,000 mile charging cable??

I think it’s a Nissan Leaf

Nope. They did the 2017 Mongol Rally in a Leaf. This is a modified 4WD Nissan Ariya.
The BBC are just (intentionally?) poor at naming EVs that aren't on fire.

Their website is Pole to Pole EV – The ultimate electric vehicle expedition. British adventurer and Guinness World Record holder Chris Ramsey will become the first person to drive from Pole to Pole in a bid to raise awareness of climate change and the role that electric cars can play in reducing our carbon footprint.

Oh well - thanks for update- would be a big boast for MG4 if they did though?

They could have used a marvel.
Then the tag line ‘bloody marvel it made it’

Don't forget to pack plenty of reduction gearbox oil!
