Chris Ramsey is an internationally renowned motivational speaker and a pioneering force in the world of electric vehicles. With a strong commitment to sustainability and a fearless spirit of adventure, Chris has built a career proving the potential of electric transport across some of the most extreme environments on Earth. As the first person to drive from pole to pole – a groundbreaking expedition aimed at raising awareness of climate change and the vital role electric cars can play in reducing our carbon footprint – Chris brings a wealth of experience and passion to his speaking engagements. Audiences find his talks both eye-opening and inspiring, as he shares bold stories from the frontlines of eco-innovation.
Chris’ journey began in the early days of electric vehicle adoption. As far back as 2012, he was determined to showcase what these vehicles were capable of, taking on bold challenges such as driving between the three UK capitals and later journeying from John O’Groats to Land’s End in just 26 hours – beating Tesla’s previous time. His early initiatives quickly gained traction, setting the stage for increasingly ambitious adventures. With each challenge, Chris sought not just to test the limits of technology but also to spark public conversation and drive awareness of sustainability in everyday transport.
In recent years, Chris has only expanded his impact. In 2016, he successfully drove 2,500 miles in under 60 hours in a BMW i3. Then, in 2017, he tackled the extraordinary 10,000-mile rally from London to Siberia in just 56 days. He even broke a Guinness World Record for the longest distance travelled on an electric bike in 12 hours. His contributions have had lasting influence – such as inspiring the introduction of electric vehicle charging points in Kazakhstan – and his insights into global charging infrastructure and energy storage make him a key voice in the future of mobility.
Organisations hire Chris as a speaker not only for his unmatched knowledge of electric vehicle technology but for his ability to motivate through real-world experience. His resilience, dedication and ability to connect sustainability with human achievement make him a compelling figure on stage. Whether discussing climate change, innovation or overcoming adversity, Chris captivates and educates, leaving his audiences driven to make meaningful change.
