The Daihatsu Mira Electric Vehicles, featuring Sanyo lithium-ion batteries and converted from gas to electric by the Japan Electric Vehicles Club, already set a record for the longest single trip without recharging when it took a 345-mile journey from Tokyo to Osaka in November 2009.
What is more remarkable is that these enthusiasts from the Japan Electric Vehicle Club (Japan EV Club) used 8,320 cylindrical lithium-ion laptop batteries to run the Mira EV for 1,003.84km for almost 28 hours at an average speed of around 40km/h on a single charge.
What’s “rechargeable lithium ion battery”?
By using the same number of batteries this time, the Japan EV Club was able to double the distance the Mira EV ran on a single charge after some modifications in just a few months.
That record was doubled over the weekend at a track in Ibaraki, Japan. To put that distance in perspective, consider that the record-breaking run took more than 22 hours. By using the same number of batteries this time a Mira EV passenger ran on a single charge after some modifications in just a few months and the car would still be running.
Although the Japan EV Club were not able to get the EV speed higher than 25 mph, which is not practical in driving in traffic roads or the impractical and costly computer laptop lithium-ion batteries, their achievement has to be applauded since they proved that an EV can go the distance on a single charge.
