Nissan\u2019s first all-electric crossover SUV, the Ariya, will be at the forefront of a first-ever expedition that aims to drive the whole distance from the magnetic North Pole to the South Pole.<\/p>\n

The adventure, which is set to begin in March 2023, is the brainchild of British EV explorer Chris Ramsey and his wife, Julie Ramsey, who will drive a modified Ariya<\/a> e-4ORCE on the 16,700-mile (27,000-kilometer) long journey.<\/p>\n

The Ramsey couple\u2019s crossover will be modified to accommodate larger tires, bigger wheel arches, and a raised suspension, and there will also be a second modified Ariya that will act as a support vehicle. Nissan<\/a> previously said it will unveil the finished cars in February.<\/p>\n

“Daring to do what others don’t, Nissan and the team of extreme pioneers at Pole to Pole are pushing the limits of electric mobility, accelerating towards a cleaner, safer, more inclusive world. In undertaking and completing this ambitious expedition, we hope to reach and inspire action in others all around the world, demonstrating the prowess of electric vehicles and speeding up adoption as part of the solution to reducing global emissions”, Cl\u00edodhna Lyons, Region Vice President Product and Services Planning.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Japanese carmaker didn\u2019t include the expedition\u2019s charging strategy, so it\u2019s still unclear how the team will recharge the cars\u2019 batteries in temperatures as low as -22 degrees Fahrenheit (-30 degrees Celsius), on a trip that totals over 16,000 miles.<\/p>\n
