A German electric car has set the world record when it drove 375 miles without recharging its battery.
Mirko Hannermann drove the yellow and purple Audi A2 from Munich to Berlin in seven hours, without recharging! German Economy Minister Rainer Bruederle, who jumped inside for a
quick drive in the courtyard of his ministry, called Hannemann's trip a
technological quantum leap. "Today, we have shown what cars can do" Hannemann quoted. So far, consumers have been put of by the short driving range with electric cars which is usually 60-100 miles depending on the battery size.
The four-seat Audi A2, funded by German utility lekker Energie and
the German Economy Ministry, has all features of a regular car,
including a fully usable trunk. He drove the car at 55 miles per hour on average. "This is a great success," said Andreas Goerdeler of the German
Economy Ministry. "We are in a fierce global competition and this proves
that we're technological leaders."
