80 Days Around the World in Electric Cars
About 80edays
The story of 80edays began in 2012. Rafael de Mestre’s pioneering spirit led him to embark on an extraordinary adventure – GENESIS, racing around the world in a production all-electric Tesla Roadster, completing the feat in just 127 days.
In 2016, the story continued with ELDURO, as 11 international teams, the ambassadors of 80edays, embarked on a grueling 29,000 km rally across 20 countries and 3 continents. Their triumph in completing the journey in 80 days, beating Rafael de Mestre’s record, sent a powerful message to the industry: sustainable technology is the path to the future.
In 2023, Rafael initiated a promotional trip around the world in Hamburg in the same iconic Roadster he drove in 2012. Déjà vu? No, a new chapter of history written by Rafael adding the first ever emmission free car transport over the Atlantic Ocean in the around the world trip.
Due to huge delays in the transport caused by Fox News assuming an EV catching fire at the Freemantle Highway car trasporting ship he arrived in Germany short before the planned start of the 4th around the world trip.
A 5th edition is planned for 2030, this time adding a new story, the story of King Arthur and the 12 knights fighting for a borderless world without pollution.
