168 million disposable vapes sold in the U.K. last year. Each have approx 0.5Ah 3.7v rechargeable lithium battery. Thats almost 310MWh of batteries produced for U.K. alone, 50% are thrown away. That’s almost 6200 EV batteries a year. EV’s reduce CO2, vapes add to landfill.

In your moment of great pride, there will inevitably be haters. We’ve experienced everything from death threats to people hoping we fall down a crevasse & die. Remember, it’s a small amount of negativity & there is a huge wave of positivity. Ride the positivity wave 👊🏻

An extremely difficult video to record. A combination of zero wind, a prototype trailer system & crucially a race to reach an ice road that is closing & melting! We had no choice. The expedition is to demonstrate the capabilities of an EV though & we will stay true to this.

Ruta 40 Argentina 🇦🇷 ❤️ In just a couple of days we will cross the border again into Chile & arrive in Punta Arenas, completing leg 2 of the expedition in our Ariya EV. Then we head into Antarctica for leg 3 & definitely living on the edge! #poletopoleev

One of the ways we are minimise our impact during the expedition is to use the car as our hotel as much as we can. Charging locations can sometimes present us with sleeping challenges though…..😂😴 #poletopoleev #nissan #nissanariya

We had our first & only! breakdown during the Arctic leg. It was not due to the car, but a sharp rock hiding under the deep snow. @arctictrucks had us up and running within 30mins & #nissanariya is performing superbly. #poletopoleev #nissan #bfgoodrichtires

We finally got the opportunity to get our @Thule Approach roof top tent out again. This time in Cotopaxi National Park, Ecuador. Waking up in the morning & looking out at the worlds largest active volcano in the distance, trust us it’s there behind the clouds 😂 #poletopoleev

The town of Banff, Alberta are implementing many solutions to lessen their impact on the planet, and to protect the beautiful landscape, wildlife and environment they live in. #EV buses, along with a zero landfill by 2035 & renewable energy generation strategies are just a few

Flashback to the #Arctic and Julie showing the frozen lake we were driving on. Tyre pressures were sitting around 6psi to displace the cars weight to keep up safe on the ice in case of any thin areas ❄️😬👌🏻

“Life is a Highway” and what a highway it has been over these last 18523 miles. There’s been laughter, tears, arguments, jokes, hugs and much more. Every emotion you can think of, we will have probably been through it, but what a ride. #poletopoleev #nissanariya

Charging at this really cool cafe stop in Bajo Caracoles on Ruta 40. It was really exciting to be here as we recognise this location from watching the Long Way Up where Charlie & Ewan stopped to charge their @LiveWireEV bikes. ❤️ the Long Way series #poletopoleev #nissan

Some people think the supply of #PalmOil is being blow out of proportion. This visual is forest loss due to Palm Oil plantations in Borneo in just 70years. You decide? #PlanetBeforeProfit #BringIcelandAdBack

Amazing news. We've been able to reduce our GoFundMe target quite significantly thanks to securing new partners. Every share is appreciated & every single penny will be used to do good on the planet. To clarify, absolutely nothing goes to us!

Some of our comfort foods from back home in Scotland that we are enjoying on the road up in the Arctic. These are important as they are the little treats that you look forward to each day, as expedition food can get a bit boring. ⁦ @TunnockOfficial @irnbru

Renewable energy + EV = two parts of the solution. This energy site has 45 x 2MW wind & 60MW of solar & it is one of many sites in Chile. In 2022 energy from renewable sources accounted for 27.5% of Chile’s electricity. It over took coal for first time which is fantastic news.
