EV shatters range record with 569.64 miles on a single charge
Webfleet, Bridgestone’s renowned fleet management solution, has set a new Guinness World Records title for the longest journey by an electric car on a single charge, covering an impressive 569.64 miles (916.74 km).
This groundbreaking achievement was accomplished by Kevin Booker and Sam Clarke, with co-pilot Richard Parker, in a Ford Mustang Mach-E SUV equipped with Bridgestone tyres.
Kevin Booker commented;
“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.”
The record attempt was thoroughly documented with independently verified video footage, odometer readings, GPS data, and battery level information from Webfleet.
The Mach-E Premium Extended Range SUV RWD Auto, equipped with a 91 kWh battery and a WLTP range of 373 miles, exceeded expectations by averaging 6.25 miles per kilowatt-hour (kWh) on public roads across the UK.
Sam Clarke added;
“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 24-hour drive, which included a mix of urban and rural roads to simulate real-world driving conditions, demonstrated the vehicle’s efficiency and endurance. The Bridgestone tyres played a crucial role in the record attempt, providing exceptional mileage and low rolling resistance.

The horizon is bright for emobility, promising even greater feats and driving us closer to a future where range anxiety is a thing of the past. The road ahead is paved with potential, and with continued advancements, EVs will increasingly redefine what’s possible on a single charge.
