What an inspiring adventure!
Everything starts from a great idea plus execution to make the dream come true!
'I made it!': Dutchman's 95,000km electric car trip ends in Sydney
A Dutchman and his electric car have completed a three-year, 95,000km trip across the world in Sydney.
Wiebe Wakker left the Netherlands in March 2016 with no money and a goal to prove the viability of electric vehicles by making his way to Australia.
With no money, he relied on the generosity and power points of supporters as he journeyed across 33 countries including Turkey, Iran, India, and Malaysia.
The 1119-day trip ended at Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens on Sunday.
Nice interview of he introducing his custom Volkswagen Golf EV 2009
Some of Tesla owners are still planning to take a road tour. However, he already completed the great trip with this 10 years old EV, as you can see, actions/execution are really powerful than any words.
Wakker's website- Plug me in Project , has all the information about this great journey.
His is one of the 100 sustainable young leaders of the Netherlands
Theme
Awareness and education
Initiative
In March 2016 I started my project "Plug Me In." With an electric car I travel from the Netherlands to Sydney, without money but with a higher purpose.
Plug Me In is based on collaboration between people where everyone has their own input. On the plugmeinrproject.com website, everyone has the option of supporting the trip with a meal, a roof over my head or an electrical outlet to charge the electric car. The route is determined on the basis of these offers and so I was sent zigzagging around the world. From the Netherlands to Italy, then up again to the North Cape and via Eastern Europe I ended up in Asia. I arrived in the UAE via Turkey and Iran and then crossed India and Southeast Asia. I have since seen 33 countries, driven 66,000 km and have not yet visited one gas station. In exchange for the energy that people offer, they receive a sustainable drinking bottle and I share my experiences and knowledge.
More than 1,400 people from 45 countries have already contributed to the project and this led to unexpected meetings with a minister in Germany, sheikhs in the Emirates and a royal family in Malaysia.
Target
Plug Me In is an adventure with a mission. The goal is to share knowledge, inspire and accelerate the transition to a climate neutral future.
By traveling to Sydney with an electric car, I hope to dispel the myth that electric vehicles do not have the same endurance as their fuel-driven cousins. If I can drive to the other side of the world with a plug-in car, we must also be able to take it to the Appie (Albert Heijn).
During the trip, I stop at organizations, initiatives and inspiring people in all countries to hear and see what the sustainability challenges are in the various regions and what solutions are already available.
For example, in Dubai I spoke to a sheik who had a tool to grow plants in the desert, on Java I saw by superstition one million diapers each day ending up in the largest river on the island and someone in Zurich let me experience how to separates human excrement and then converts it into energy.
I make videos about all these meetings that I post on my blog and social media channels. I have since built up a community of around 45,000 loyal followers and my videos have been viewed more than six million times. In almost all countries I visit, I reach the national media and I have appeared on Sky News Arabia, CNN and with publications in, among others, Lonely Planet, Auto Bild, NRC Next and Der Spiegel.

多麼鼓舞人心的冒險！
一切都從一個好主意和執行開始，讓夢想成真！
'我做到了！'：荷蘭人95,000公里的電動車之旅在悉尼結束
一位荷蘭人和他的電動車在悉尼完成了一次為期三年，行程95,000公里的全球旅行。
Wiebe Wakker於2016年3月離開荷蘭，沒有任何資金，目標是通過前往澳大利亞來證明電動汽車的可行性。
在沒有錢的情況下，他依靠支持者的慷慨和權力，因為他在包括土耳其，伊朗，印度和馬來西亞在內的33個國家旅行。
這場1119天的旅行於週日在悉尼皇家植物園結束。
好採訪 介紹他定制的大眾高爾夫EV 2009
一些特斯拉車主仍在計劃著去參加公路旅行。然而，他已經用這個10年前出廠的EV完成了這次偉大的旅程，你可以看到，動作/執行的力量真的比任何話語都強大。
Wakker的網站 提供有關這一偉大旅程的所有信息。
他是荷蘭100名可持續發展的年輕領導人之一
主題
意識和教育
倡議
2016年3月，我開始了我的項目“Plug Me In”。有了電動車，我從荷蘭到悉尼旅行，沒有錢，但有更高的目的。
Plug Me In基於人與人之間的協作，每個人都有自己的意見。在plugmeinrproject.com網站上，每個人都可以選擇支持旅行，用餐或電源插座為電動汽車充電。這條路線是根據這些優惠確定的，所以我可前往世界各地。從荷蘭到意大利，再到北角和東歐，我最終到了亞洲。我通過土耳其和伊朗抵達阿聯酋，然後越過印度和東南亞。此後我看到了33個國家，行駛了66,000公里，還沒有去過一個加油站。為了換取人們提供的能量，他們獲得了可持續的飲用水瓶，我分享了我的經驗和知識。
來自45個國家的1,400多人已經為該項目做出了貢獻，這也創造了了與德國部長，阿聯酋酋長國和馬來西亞王室的意外會面。
目標
Plug Me In是一項充滿使命的冒險。目標是分享知識，激勵和加速向氣候中性未來的過渡。
通過乘坐電動汽車前往悉尼，我希望消除電動汽車與燃料驅動的同類產品具有相同耐力的神話。如果我可以使用插電式汽車開往世界的另一端，我們也必須能夠把它帶到Appie (Albert Heijn荷蘭最大型連鎖超市)。
在旅行期間，我會停下所有國家的組織，倡議和鼓舞人心，聽取並了解各個地區的可持續發展挑戰以及已有的解決方案。
例如，在迪拜，我採訪了一位在沙漠中種植植物的工具，在爪哇島，我看到當地每天有100萬個尿布使用結束後- 最後在島上最大的河流中漂流，蘇黎世的某個人讓我參加節日, 讓我體驗到分離人類排泄物然後將其轉化為能量。
我製作了關於我在博客和社交媒體渠道上發布的所有會議的視頻。我已經建立了一個擁有大約45,000名忠實粉絲的社區，我的視頻被觀看了超過六百萬次。在我訪問的幾乎所有國家，我都到了全國媒體，我出現在Sky News Arabia，CNN以及Lonely Planet，Auto Bild，NRC Next和Der Spiegel等出版物上。
