Webfleet, Bridgestone’s renowned fleet management solution, has set a new Guinness World Records title for the longest journey by an EV on a single charge, covering an impressive 569.64 miles (916.74 km). This achievement was accomplished by Webfleet-sponsored drivers Kevin Booker and Sam Clarke, with Webfleet’s Richard Parker as co-pilot, using a Ford Mustang Mach-E SUV equipped with Bridgestone tyres.

The record-breaking journey, which took place over 24 hours, traversed urban and rural roads across Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, and Cambridgeshire. The Mach-E, featuring a 91kWh battery and a WLTP range of 373 miles, surpassed expectations by averaging 6.25 miles per kilowatt hour (kWh).

“This record is a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved in this endeavour,” says Beverley Wise, Webfleet UKI Regional Director for Bridgestone Mobility Solutions. “It represents a significant milestone in the electrification of road transport and demonstrates the potential of electric vehicles when supported by innovative Bridgestone tyre design and advanced fleet management technology.”

Driver Kevin Booker says, “Breaking this record has been an exhilarating journey and a powerful demonstration of what electric vehicles can achieve. It is incredible to see how far we have come with EV technology and efficiency. We hope this inspires more people to consider electric vehicles for their everyday travel.”

His co-driver, Sam Clarke, adds, “Driving the Ford Mustang Mach-E for such a distance on a single charge was an extraordinary experience. The vehicle’s efficiency and the support from Webfleet’s technology made this possible.”

The AA provided official adjudication and EV support services for the record attempt. “We are delighted to have supported this incredible achievement with our expert Patrols and backup team,” says Edmund King OBE, AA president. “The drivers, together with Ford Mustang Mach-E, Bridgestone and Webfleet, have all used their expertise to prove that EVs can go much further than people think. Such endeavours are important to show that electric vehicles can be a major part of the future transport mix.”
