Volkswagen's electric van, the ID. Buzz, has set a new Guinness World Record for the most countries visited in a continuous journey by an EV. The trip covered nearly 100,000 kilometres and took the vehicle through 92 countries, according to Electrek.
The record highlights how far long-distance electric travel has come. A journey of this scale depends not only on vehicle range but also on the availability and dependability of charging networks across many borders. The ID. Buzz's success is a practical data point for EV capability outside of typical urban or highway commutes.
While the source focuses on the achievement itself, it does not provide details on charging infrastructure, route conditions, or how often the van stopped to recharge. As such, the record stands as a proof of concept rather than a complete map of what such journeys require.
