ALOHA WANDERWELL
100 years ago, between 1922 and 1927, Guinness World Record’s holder Aloha Wanderwell, became the first woman to drive around the world on a journey that took her through 43 countries.
She did it all in a Ford Model T.
LEXIE ALFORD
100 years later, Lexie Alford, another Guinness World Records holder (the youngest person to visit every country in the world), retraced Aloha's footsteps in the new all-electric Explorer.
For the first time ever, an electric vehicle traveled around the world in a new, sustainable way. That’s Exploring Reinvented!
A NEW WORLD RECORD!
On March 26th, 2024, after around 200 days behind the wheel, Lexie Alford made history as the first person to circumnavigate the world in an electric vehicle.
To validate the record, RecordSetter provided a Garmin GPS unit that communicated Lexie's position via satellite uplink. Additionally, they conducted spot checks at various points along the route for in-person verification, ensuring the journey met their stringent certification criteria.
