In June, hundreds of electric vehicles and their owners will assemble in Bremerhaven, Germany for the start of the WAVE Trophy (http://www.wavetrophy.com/) EV rally. Last year’s parade set a world record with 577 electric cars on hand. This year, organizers expect to set a new mark. But the WAVE rally is more than a parade and social gathering for EV lovers: it’s a 1,000-mile expedition stopping in 60 cities in three countries over the span of a week. The WAVE acronym stands for “world advanced vehicle expedition.”
Founded six years ago by Louis Palmer—recipient of the 2011 United Nations Earth Award and the first person to drive a solar-powered vehicle around the world—WAVE was created to build visibility and confidence for electric transport. It’s not a conventional race, but the WAVE Trophy does give out first prizes for prototype vehicles, commercially sold light and heavy vehicles and e-bikes. There are also awards for a number of categories, including best decoration, fastest backward slalom, and best blogging. There’s even a scavenger hunt for children.
