Has anyone ever circumnavigated the earth using an electric car?

I know that electric cars have been around for a while now, but has anyone been able to circumnavigate the entire world in one?

You’d be surprised that even though they’re a relatively novel technology to the average consumer,
electric cars
, several people have actually circumnavigated the entire world in an electric car, with the first journey happening in 2010.
A few of the longest-ever electric car journeys are:
  • Weibe Wakker spent three years and 59,000 miles traveling from Amsterdam to Sydney, Australia in an electric-powered VW Golf.
  • Xavier Degon and Antonin Guy went around the world in a Citroën C-Zero in 2010.
  • Alan Soule drove 16,000 miles across the globe starting in Barcelona, Spain in 2016.
