Chris and Julie Ramsey (UK) completed the first-ever pole-to-pole electric car journey.

It took six years of planning and 10 months to drive 30,000 km in an all-electric Nissan Ariya.

The temperature at the North Pole was about minus 50 degrees Celsius.

They travelled through 14 countries in North, Central and South America.

They asked a power company to install 20 recharging stations throughout South America.

Many people along the way helped them by letting them use their home chargers, feeding them, washing their car, etc.
