This Couple Are Setting New Records By Traveling Pole-To-Pole In A Nissan Ariya!

We LOVE the idea of road-trips on this channel, and while we've always wanted to travel around the world, we've reached that point in life where we're unlikely to make one (for various political and logistical reasons).

But that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the trips of the amazing adventurers that are making such trips - and a few weeks ago we were able to meet up with two friends from the UK who are aiming to be the first to drive an electric car (in fact any car) from the Geographic North Pole to the South Pole.

Enter Chris and Julie Ramsey, and their specially-adapted Nissan Ariya e-4orce. They've already visited the North Pole - and they're heading south.

We caught up with them while they were in Portland for Formula E - and here's the resulting interview!

So awesome. Makes me realize just how timid my driving is... ;)

[lyledal]

I'm envious! This looks like an amazing adventure!

[cosmostrek]

nissian should switch some of the cars style with the big tyres. i bet a lot of people would buy them.

And we had range anxiety just from going from California to the Grand canyon😂😂😂😂. It looks really awesome. We can't wait to be able to get an off-road EV so that we can do more camping then just what the Bolt EUV can handle.

So cool. Who needs to go to Mars? There are so many adventures right outside our front door... Great interview!!!

[DaleWheeler]

I am VERY jealous of these two. What an adventure!!!!

[pangit]

Best of luck to these two lovely people!

[ericvetb]

All the best of luck guys!! Been following you on social media/website since started (from FCharged video months ago)… such great expedition.., and bit jealous like Nikki too 😅). Must definitely be very challenging at times but so worth it…
Best wishes and keep going!! 🎉❤

[brunocolle]

So nice! Can't wait to see them here in Brazil!

[levmatta]

End of year at the south pole is Summer!

[MikeWeida]

And I thought my thought of driving the PCH boarder to boarder was ambitious.

[lesliefranklin]

Two Scotts driving through the Darién Gap, what could possibly go wrong? History is important.

[lelandeggleston]

If Nissan made the Ariya like this I would buy one.

[JBean_COCR]

Best of luck, great trip idea, your vehicle will fit right in once you reach Antarctica.

[matthewjenkins]

Cannot wait for a comprehensive list of the charging stations used throughout the journey.

This reminds me of the adventures/excursions of a century ago when ICE cars were gaining popularity. I love how history repeating itself is with a far superior technology that will help us save our home.
