German EV travels more than 1000 miles on a single charge

Schluckspecht E

This silver colored small car, which looks very cute like a child’s toy vehicle created a sensation in the automobile industry by becoming the first electric car that covered over 1000 miles on a single charge. Designed by Offenburg University of Applied Sciences under the aegis of Frauenhofter Institute for Transportation and Infrastructure Systems, this has a 23KWh lithium cobalt battery.

Above all, it took 36 hours for the car to come to a halt on its test track. This car was named Schluckpecht by its inventors. After designing this small electric car, stage was set to test it and people kept their fingers crossed. Four drivers were assigned the task of driving it one after the other taking the appropriate intervals.

Schluckpecht was on the 2,945 meter test track finally after the first charge. No one imagined that the driver had to spend more than more than a day and night in that electric car on the track. When one driver felt exhausted, he was replaced by another driver without halting the vehicle. The drivers literally jumped in and out of this car, while it was on the test track. Four drivers took turns before the car came to a halt. Schluckpecht covered 1,631.5 kilometers. Sounds incredible, but true. This is the first electric car to cover such a long distance in one go. Want to know the battery capacity of this electric car? It comes with a 23-kWh lithium-cobalt battery pack.
