The WAVE 2014 is nearing again and wants to beat its 2013, and current official World Guiness record of 305 EV`s ! This time the parade will start directly from Daimler Museum in Stuttgart at 10:00 and drive in total 3,5 km, around VfB Soccer stadion and finish at 11:30 at the parking area almost in front of Porsche Arena. We want to achieve 500+ and not only with Smarts....... http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/records-7000/largest-parade-of-electric-vehicles/ Video of the 2013 parade in Zürich: WAVE TROPHY 2013: Worlds largest electric vehicle parade, Zürich, 6 July 2013 - YouTube SO REGISTER ( FREE OF CHARGE) HERE, COME TO STUTTGART AND JOIN US ! : World Record Parade - wavetrophy.com Registration is absolutely preferred as part of the preparations to beat the official World Guiness record.

The bar has been raised, I'm afraid. Guinness is currently in the process of validating the Montreal EV Parade, which got 431 EVs. 431 electric vehicles gather in Montréal to set Guinness World Record for largest EV parade : TreeHugger
Guess it's not ..... : http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/records-7000/largest-parade-of-electric-vehicles/ Anyhow it will be raised properly in Stuttgart.... ;-)
LOL that's because it takes up to two months for them to validate it. I guess it'll be going back and forth!
@Doug_ G : we ll see @Tony Williams : You inspected factory parking lot of T .... ? :wink: Next week in Stuttgart (hometown of the automobile) pretty much all major ZE brands / vehicles on the market will be very present. Good luck beating that one, besides the overall number that will be achieved. Come and watch it yourself !
Hybrids don't count. There were a bunch of Amperas/Volts at the Montreal event. There is also a world record attempt underway in Norway. They have 273 electric cars signed up as of today, and the event will be held on Sunday the 25. of May at 13:00. (And this *isn't* in the Oslo region, where most of the electric cars in Norway are situated.) Probably, the WAVE 2014 will beat the Norwegian record (if one is achieved), but I guess they'll have the record for about a week.
We intend to have the "World's Largest Electric Vehicle Gathering" in Irvine (Orange County), California on Saturday, August 9, 2014. We won't have hybrids; just EV's. Tony
Gotcha. 507 electric vehicles driving in a row and registered @ World Guinness Records.... A nice video to proof it (courtesy of e-mobilBW): Grte Elektroauto-Parade der Welt on Vimeo Next one will be 1000+ for sure .......... Best regards, Peter Paul Keizer-Pecqueur, M. Sc. know.how-CiT !

Most Electric Cars Ever? Guinness World Record Try In Montreal Next Month Silicon Valley EAA mentioned this too: "SAP and Google have decided to hold the World Record attempt for the largest number of EVs at Drive Electric Week..."
@ TonyWilliams : Thank you, you re highly welcome to come and join ! Wish you good luck with your recordbreaking EV Parade. Be clear: 500 EV are still just peanuts ! Meanwhile the WAVE world record is officially confirmed by Guinness : Largest parade of electric vehicles Now we go to next EVent, the 4. Bertha Benz Challenge ( sorry, UK text still not published) : Aktuell - Bertha-Benz-Challenge Offen nur für Elektroautos und zukunftsgerechte Fahrzeuge. eRegards, Peter Paul Keizer-Pecqueur know.how-CiT !

The next world record attempt will be: National Drive Electric Week Event - Cupertino National Drive Electric Week Event - Cupertino Day: Saturday, September 20, 2014 Time: 10 AM - 4 PM Location: De Anza College 21250 Stevens Creek Blvd Cupertino, CA 95014
The Countdown is running. Keep us updated, Tony ! Tomorrow the 4th Automobilclub von Deutschland Bertha Benz Challenge will start in Frankfurt. In the spirit of Bertha Benz all participating innovative cars, partly prototypes (!), will be driving along the world` oldest automobile road, the Bertha Benz Memorial Route. More about this unique route you ll find here : Bertha Benz Memorial Route With 194 Km it is no challenge for a Model S, but it becomes quite challenging if you add some laps on the Hockenheimring racecircuit............
Looking forward to the day that over a thousand cars of EVs are bumper to bumper and we just call it "traffic". Just saying.
Tony : one achieved 507 vehicles. That is equal to the inofficial record, and just over the official record in STuTTgart ............ ;-) Here is the official WAVE 2014 Worldrecord Video: WAVE 2014 ELECTRIC VEHICLE PARADE STUTTGART - YouTube =>> 1000 is still the next target !
