Project EVIE was a non-profit organization founded in the United States aiming to promote the adoption of electric vehicles. On June 1, 2010, the organization intended to launch the first expedition to drive around the world in a production electric vehicle.[1] The expedition wished to cover 6 continents and 70 countries in 18 months, with a total expected mileage of 70,000 miles.[2] Sufficient funding was not obtained, and the intended expedition did not occur.
From idealist.org:
- Project EVIE was intended to lead the first expedition around the world in a commercially available electric vehicle, taking one big step for a sustainable future and leaving no footprint.
