A Renault Zoe electric car is about to cover 2,000 miles up and down the country to prove that a linked and entirely functional network of electric charging points already exists.

The route will travel from London to John O’Groats and back down to Land’s End, before returning to London. It’s an epic round-trip that is set to generate a real buzz as it passes through 15 major cities on its travels.

On route, staff at Domino’s Pizza in Swindon will be attempting a new world record for how many people that can be squeezed into the Zoe, while the public can enter the bizarrely-titled “guess how many pizzas are in the Twizy” game with a chance of winning a prize.

The team will also be stopping off at the Design Your Electric Car of the Future competition in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and staging a race between a speedboat and the Zoe across the River Severn.
