Swiss students have broken the 1-second EV acceleration mark

Posted by in category: transportation

A team of students from ETH Zurich and Lucerne University have hand-built an electrical vehicle that is now officially a world record holder.

On September 1, 2023, a group of speed freak students from ETH Zurich and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Switzerland demolished the electrical vehicle acceleration world record in style. Spending every spare minute building and refining their racing car, called “Mythen,” they managed to get from zero to 62.15 mph (100 kph) in 0.965 seconds over a distance of 40.3 feet (12.3 meters).

Record breaking achievement.
