Electric Car News

A specially built single-seater electric car Buckeye Bullet 2 just broke the land speed record for an electric car. It tipped the dial at 515 km/h although the average figure was 495 km/h.

The new speed record was established on the Bonneville salt lake, Utah, USA.

Just a year ago, the Bullet’s 1st edition took a speed record of 487 km/h.

The first person to set a decent speed record on an electric car was a Belgian daredevil Camille Jenatzi, who took his rocket-shaped electric car “Jamais Contente” to a speed of 101 km/h in 1899. Just a little ever hundred years on and look how far we’ve got!
