GUINNESS WORLD RECORD FOR MOST ELECTRIC CARS IN ONE PARADE SET IN NORWAY 2013

A total of 260½ electric vehicles were united to drive in unison outside of Norway’s capital city of Oslo on August 31 2013.

“Starting from Maridalen in outer Oslo, the world’s cleanest and quietest automotive gathering of all time followed a pre-determined 4km route and was monitored by two-camera carrying drones to ensure that all vehicles were moving simultaneously and qualified for the new world record.”

This number is 35½ higher than the previous record set solely by Nissan LEAFs on the Silverstone circuit in the UK in 2012.

Norway’s record has been set by the Electric Vehicle Union (EVU) and Norwegian EV Association in Norway.

Almost half of the vehicles (128½) were LEAFs, but as we can see in the attached videos, practically all EVs were represented.

In connection with the Hope Trophy Project and Sharing Copenhagen's "Green Mobility Weeks" in September/October 2014, a new Guinnnes World Record will be attempted.

UPDATE:

We just found out that the current record of 305 cars was set in Zurich 2013, after the Oslo version.

Since the record is for an electric-vehicle parade, all participating cars have to move to be counted. Eligible vehicles include all plug-in models.

The Bike Crew from Barangay Cyclists Energetic as they arrived from their Virtual Tagging Performance Ride through the streets of Manila on a route spelling out "AIR" with the help of the CO2 Green Drive GPS APP.that some of them had downloaded to their phones.

Philippinos have had the Catholic Church in their culture for over 500 years and it is a very important part of most Philippinos. In the above image in San Agustin Church Ceiling is the "All Seeing Eye". A Church that was first buildt in 1571, destroyed several times by Earth Quakes, War and fires.

The water that had overflowed many towns outside Manila was still present many weeks after Yolanda had made her devestating visit. However, Metro Manila was spared and the CAR Manila event was produced as planned.

The above "AIR" tag was produced with the help of Electric Cars and Bikes and in the next post, the whole Manila experience will be described in more detail. Meanwhile, go to Instagram and look for the Hashtag #CARManila for images from the day.

EARTH DAY NEW YORK - CO2 E DRIVE: PART 2 - TIMES SQUARE CATWALK 2012

Bob Lutz (the man behind the VOLT) giving a speech on Times Square about his perspective on why he think it is important to drive electric cars and pushing for his new project the VIA Plug in Hybrid Pick-up truck. (If you have not read part one about the story of  Earth Day New York - CO2 E Drive 2012, then go HERE to do so)

See above video from CNN and hear more from Bob Lutz, saying that "essentially car companies are completely neutral to Oil and if cars could, he would be happy to run them on toothpaste"

The "E" tag Performance that was done in the streets of New York City, screened on the Toshiba jumbo screen on Times Square (above photo from 2011 version). Once the route was completed, the cars ended up on Times Square for a "Green Car Fashion Show" in collaboration with Mr. Green. 

First to enter the Blue Catwalk was the Nissan LEAF, tightly escorted by Mr. Green

The whole performance was also screened on the huge NASDAQ screen. The screen measures 12,000 square feet and uses more than 18 million LEDs on a display with a top resolution of 1280x1824. Read more about the screen in this WIRED article.
