The Pole to Pole EV Expedition: A local couple’s global mission to showcase electric vehicle potential

The Pole to Pole EV expedition is an extraordinary adventure being undertaken by Aberdeen-based couple Chris and Julie Ramsey. Their mission: to travel 17,000 miles from the 1823 Magnetic North Pole to the South Pole in an electric vehicle (EV) to demonstrate the capabilities of sustainable transportation. As local heroes taking on a world first challenge, Chris and Julie are determined to inspire change in the way people perceive electric vehicles and their role in creating a more sustainable future.

The couple’s decision to embark on this adventure is driven by their passion for raising awareness about the capabilities of EV’s and the importance of sustainable solutions. As they navigate the harshest terrains across the planet, Chris and Julie are proving that electric vehicles are not just a viable alternative for daily commutes but can also withstand the demands of extreme long-distance journeys. The Pole to Pole EV expedition demonstrates that embracing electric vehicles is not a sacrifice, but rather an essential step towards a more environmentally friendly future.

As of the May Bulletin, the couple has successfully reached Canada after braving the unforgiving Arctic conditions. Despite being a local couple, Chris and Julie’s journey has garnered worldwide attention, showcasing the global significance of their mission. The BBC among other numerous publications have all played a part in telling the Pole to Pole story.

Chris Ramsey said: “Our goal is to challenge the common misconceptions surrounding electric vehicles. We want to show that EVs are more than just a solution for short commutes; they are versatile, reliable, and can take us on remarkable journeys, conquering even the most extreme conditions. By pushing the boundaries of what EVs can achieve, we hope to encourage a broader adoption of electric transportation, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable world.”

As the journey continues, Chris and Julie will engage with local and international communities, sharing their experiences and emphasising the potential of electric vehicles. By doing so, they aim to empower people to make a difference and contribute to the global effort to protect our planet. Best of all, you can follow their journey in close to real-time via an interactive map dedicated to showcasing the couple’s progress.

The Pole to Pole EV expedition is currently only part funded. As Chris and Julie continue to navigate the world in their electric vehicle, they are seeking sponsorship to complete this remarkable adventure. Local businesses and individuals have a unique opportunity to contribute to a cause that could have a lasting impact on the way we perceive EV’s.
