The "DESERTED EV" project aims to debunk the common public conception of the electric vehicle by following in the tracks of one of the biggest motorsport challenges around, the Dakar Rally. A full electric conversion of a 2008 Honda CRF450 was performed in consultation with Pro-Cal to tackle the original Paris-Dakar route through Northern Africa. Powered by twin Agni B95-R brushed DC motors and recharged entirely by portable solar arrays, the "DESERTED EV" machine will attempt the 6500km journey in 2013 taking 6-8 weeks to complete the route through South America.
