Hello -
My co-worker friend found this :
Japanese team sets new standard: 1000km on a single charge
Quote:
Giving us yet another reason to get behind electric, the Japan Electric Vehicle Club recently exceeded its own Guinness record for longest distance driven without recharging, achieving a staggering 1,003.184 km (or about 623 miles).
The club's Mira EV, a modified Daihatsu Mira, was powered by a Sanyo battery system containing more than 8,320 lithium-ion batteries, the very same kind found in laptop PCs.
Running at a speed of about 40 km/h (or about 25 mph), the team employed 17 people taking turns as drivers during the course of their 27.5 hour effort. It took place at a track in Shimotsuma, in Ibaraki Prefecture.

Seems like a "Tesla-style" drivetrain if they're using laptop batteries. If they get 623 miles at 25 MPH, what would be the range based on normal usage?
