More and more people are investing in electric cars to replace
their old vehicles. Despite the upward trend in electric transport,
many still harbor concerns about their cars' range and the
availability of chargers along the way. The Le Mans Road Trip
challenges conventional perceptions of EV capabilities for
long-distance travel. The caravan will exclusively utilize Allego's
extensive charging network across four countries, highlighting the
reliability and efficiency of EV charging infrastructure.
"This initiative exemplifies Allego's commitment to advancing
sustainable mobility and accelerating the transition to electric
transport," remarks Mathieu Bonnet, CEO of Allego. "We are happy to
support this journey, which underscores the remarkable progress in
electric mobility and charging infrastructure and showcases the
natural capacity of EVs for long-distance travel thanks to our
charging infrastructure."
GodEnergi, specialists in charging infrastructure, have
organized the non-profit initiative “Klub GodEnergi,” which
includes the second annual electric road trip of 1600 km to the Le
Mans race. "Having been in the electric vehicle industry for many
years, I have often heard the claim that electric cars cannot be
used for long trips, such as vacations to southern destinations.
This inspired me to disprove these skeptics, as I don't recognize
the limitations they describe," says Kasper Hjorth from
GodEnergi.
This marks the second consecutive year electric vehicles have
embarked on the journey to Le Mans. 2024 the electric caravan saw a
significant expansion, with 120 participants from six countries
dispersed among 50 electric cars and trucks. This represents a near
doubling of participation compared to the previous year, signaling
the escalating interest in electric vehicles across both corporate
and public spheres.
The lineup of participating vehicles includes a diverse range,
encompassing diverse electric vehicles from renowned brands such as
Audi, BMW, Fisker, Hyundai, Kia, Lotus, Mercedes, Polestar,
Porsche, Skoda, Tesla, Volvo, Volkswagen, and Xpeng.
Building on their recent partnership announcement in March with
Allego, Ford has joined the convoy, sending their Mustang MACH-E on
the journey. Adding to the excitement, participants and media
personnel will have exclusive access to the new Ford Explorer at
the Hotel van der Valk in Venlo, the Netherlands, on June 13th,
providing a unique opportunity to experience Ford's latest
offerings firsthand.
To showcase the full potential of electric vehicles, a
HeroCamper trailer will be hitched to one of the participating
cars. At the same time, a 100% electric Volvo truck from Danfoss
will also join the convoy on the road. The electric journey will
kick off at FDM Sjællandsringen on June 12, 2024, allowing
participants to warm up their batteries with a few laps on the
track. The first recharge stop will be at Danfoss' headquarters in
Nordborg, where the electric truck will rendezvous with the convoy.
From there, the journey southward commences in earnest. Upon
arrival at Le Mans, the caravan will set up camp at the 'Épinettes'
area, a stone's throw away from the racetrack. Dubbed 'Camp
Électrique,' the camp will be powered entirely by electricity
generated from electric cars, facilitating the operation of
refrigerators and electric Weber grills for meals.
Viggo Energy's calculations estimate that the trip will save
approximately 17 tons of CO2 compared to conventional fossil fuel
vehicles, underscoring the environmental benefits of electric
transport. Viewers can visit the Klub GodEnergi website to track
the journey in real time, where all teams will be monitored via
GPS. Additionally, live broadcasts from the road trip will be
posted on Allego’s website and social media channels.
Allego's sponsorship of the Le Mans Road Trip reflects its
steadfast commitment to sustainable business development. By
supporting initiatives like this, Allego continues to drive
innovation and accelerate the transition to e-mobility future.
