Adventurous at heart, Chris has taken his electric vehicles along for the ride to break world records. Back in 2016, he took on the challenge of driving 2500 miles in under 60 hours, testing the capabilities of the BMW i3 to its limits. Incredibly Chris was able to complete the task at hand, even finishing with two hours to spare. In 2017 Chris took to the electric car once more, this time to complete a gruelling 10,000-mile rally, crossing an astonishing two-thirds of the planet from London to Siberia. A feat that to some may seem impossible, Chris completed in just 56 days. A year later Chris decided to change from four wheels to two, breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest distance covered on an electric bike in 12 hours. Along his journeys, his passion for sustainability has always been a core motivator for Chris, and he was influential in the introduction of electric charging points in Kazakhstan.
Chris has been pushing the importance of electric vehicles since the early stages of the industry. As early as 2012 Chris was keen to prove that there was a future in electric vehicles, and so he drove to the three UK capitols in a bid to raise awareness of what the technology was capable of. After sparking interest in the vehicles, Chris then took on the task of travelling from John O’Groats in Scotland to Land’s End in Cornwall. Electric car giant Tesla had previously attempted this journey, Chris smashed their time taking 26 hours to complete the trip. Chris’ knowledge in the industry is both unique and insightful. His travels across the globe have allowed him to build a plethora of motivational stories, delighting audiences with his tales of triumphs and struggles and how he was able to overcome such struggles.
