Electric vehicles powered by energy from the sun, wind and wave.
WAVE
The World Advanced Vehicle Expedition (WAVE) Rally was launched in 2011 with the objective of starting to change road transport to electric vehicles powered by energy from the sun, wind and wave.
The WAVE Trophy electric car rally is not only the world largest EV rally, but is also an excellent testing ground for all types of electric road vehicles, with advanced batteries, motors and controllers evaluated in tough real life conditions.
Green MotorSport was the first team to represent Great Britain in WAVE back in 2011 and has been representing Great Britain for over 4 years in the WAVE trophy. It’s our main proving ground for all our automotive electric drive technologies.
In WAVE 2011 we visited 36 cities between Paris and Prague. Each year the number of electric cars, vans and bikes participating has increased with the Guinness Book of Records confirming that a world record number of 481 battery powered vehicles took part in WAVE 2014. 75 teams from 14 nations have driven 1600 km across spectacular landscapes between Stuttgart, Bavaria and the Swiss Alps.

Wave 2016
The 6th WAVE took place between 11th and 20th June 2016, with a route starting in Bremerhaven visiting Geneva stopping off at numerous checkpoints in 50 cities across Europe. The WAVE organisers assist by installing the latest recharging equipment en route, which will enable fast charging. Each WAVE adds to the number of European recharging points which are powered by energy from the sun and wind, so that drivers of zero emission vehicles will in due course be able to travel freely around Europe.
In general each WAVE rally consists of visiting governments, business leaders, schools and places of interest. Events include live TV and radio interviews, press announcements, video displays and competitions. The public are also invited to test drive electric vehicles and see how they are recharged by renewable energy. For more information on WAVE see, http://www.wavetrophy.com
