The Volkswagen ID4 has set a Guinness World Record. Volkswagen can call the ID4 the electric car with which the longest trip in one country has ever been driven.
The Electrify America, partly created as a penance for the Diesel scandal, is the denominator under which the Volkswagen Group of America is installing a fast charging network in the United States. To draw attention to this network in marketing terms, Volkswagen sent out an ID4 that eventually returned with a Guinness World Record.
The Volkswagen ID4 visited 628 Volkswagen dealers in the United States in about 100 days in 48 states. During the 56,327 kilometer journey, 208 stops were made at Electrify America charging stations, of course to put the charging network in the spotlight. The fact that nowadays you can earn a Guinness World Record for anything is shown by the fact that the more than 55,000 kilometer long journey has resulted in such a record. Never before has an electric car made such a long journey in one country. It’s something.
