Charge around the globe

Adventurer Lexie Alford (@LexieLimitless), the youngest person to visit every country in the world, set out on an extraordinary Charge Around The Globe in the new all-electric Ford Explorer. Followed by a documentary crew, they filmed her epic attempt to set a new record through the highs and lows. The three-part series is now available to watch on Prime Video and at the Charge Around the Globe Youtube channel. From Nice, France, she had the ambitious target of travelling over 29,000 kilometres in 90 days, to demonstrate just what’s possible in an electric vehicle. In doing so she also hoped to set the record for being the first person to circumnavigate the globe in an electric vehicle. Her journey encapsulates the ‘can do’ spirit shown by fellow adventurer Aloha Wanderwell, who became the first female to drive around the world a century ago using a petrol-powered Ford. Lexie’s own journey, using a pre-production prototype Ford Explorer, traveled its own route from Europe to Africa, then on to Australia, Asia, South America and North America, before heading back to Europe to complete her circumnavigation.
