Squatting Dog racing to set EV coast to coast world record

[Squatting Dog]

You read that correctly!

Squatting Dog Racing is teaming up with team Wheelzup to break the current coast to coast record for an EV. Which currently stands at 84.5 hours..

We will be using Team Wheelzup Tesla S and have Squatting Dog's Raptor be the support/charging vehicle.

We will be outfitting the Raptor with 26 kW Diesel DC Generator which will allow level 3 charging (30 minute charges). This will allow us to not have to worry about finding a location to charge. The Raptor will be the beast of burden and carry everything. To keep the Tesla as light as possible and as efficient as possible.

Why the Raptor?

Because it has been proven long trip vehicle (6123 miles during Bullrun). It has already been set up for long distance runs, can carry all the necessary equipment. Plus no better vehicle to pull off one of my stunts. Proving again the Raptor can do anything!

Stay tuned for another exciting adventure!

how far between charges. and will there be more recharges at higher rates of speed. that sounds like a awesome run. although a quiet run.

Great to hear Greg. This will be very cool to see

Tesla S has an advertised range of 300 miles, I believe it is closer to 260 range. Jeb will be doing some practice runs with the Tesla to get me some numbers. This way I can build the charging system around it..

This one is going to push the limits of the Raptor, the Tesla, and my electrical knowledge..

So any and every bit off help is appreciated in the wild stunt..

Squatting Dog, please tell me your not supporting an all electric Prius....

Can I ask a dumb question? With the short recharge times and the empty roads, is there any possibility you can recharge while the cars are moving?

Maybe not cooking along at 80mph, but slow down, plug in (somehow) and charge?



I know, dumb, but I had to ask.

Having a forward connection would mean you could refuel while moving fly the tanker in front and ease the power connection in and never stop moving for fast charges...

So where are you planing on starting and finishing?

Wow Greg with another awesome adventure! Nice not to have to worry about making it to the charging stations along the way. How far will a 30 min charge get you?
