Electric car completes Alaska-Argentina trip

An electric sportscar finished a remarkable road trip on the Panamerican Highway today, travelling from near the Arctic Circle in Alaska to the world’s southernmost city without a single blast of carbon dioxide emissions.

Developed by engineers from Imperial College London, the SRZero sportscar ran on lithium iron phosphate batteries powering two electric motors with a peak output of 400 horsepower during its 16,000-mile journey.
