An all-electric car completed the Dakar rally for the first time
"The vehicle is equipped with 250 kW synchronous electric motor, equivalent to 340 horsepower
and a modular battery pack made of six lithium battery modules for a total of 150 kWh energy
capacity when using all modules. Acciona previously claimed to be using “Tesla batteries” in their packs."
"Acciona’s team says it is using “Tesla batteries” in the vehicle, but considering both companies
don’t appear to have a relationship, they are likely referring to the use of the same Panasonic
battery cells that Tesla is using in its own vehicles."
"They can plug each module independently to charge faster
and they also have a small 100-watt solar panel on the back of the roof:"
(From Fred Lambert)
"For anybody who is wondering, they came in last overall with a time of 111:21:18 and a 41 hour penalty.
It looks like they didn't finish some of the stages and I'm guessing that's where the penalty comes from.
Still, pretty good considering that almost a third of the cars didn't finish.
I bet they'll do better next year."

"335bhp, 590 lb/ft, max weight 2100kg,
200km (124 miles) racing range,
six modular packs totalling 150 kWh.
Racing energy consumption 321.87 to 643.74 Wh/mile,
or 1.55 to 3.11 miles/kWh, depending on terrain type."
(From Vertigo Nøderak)
"In race conditions the car can do 200km on a full charge.
Service trucks are positioned on route to provide a recharge of 85% in 1h."
(From Snowcat )
In particular, Stage 6 was 527km (327 miles).
"They apparently had three trucks carrying serious gensets, running biodiesel."
