Ford Mustang Mach-E: EV efficiency record details
The electric performance SUV was driven by BBC transport correspondent Paul Clifton, Fergal McGrath and Kevin Brooker, who already hold petrol and diesel efficiency records between them.
Setting off on 3 July and driving through the night to avoid congestion, the trio completed the trip in 27 hours at an average speed of around 50kph. Remarkably, they stopped only twice to charge: first at a BP Pulse station in Wigan, Lancashire, and a second time in Cullompton, Devon. The two stops amounted to just 45 minutes spent plugged in.
