In 2011, Ramsey founded Plug In Adventures to support his goal of promoting electric vehicle adoption by demonstrating their capabilities.
[2] The adventuring began in 2015 when Chris and Julie Ramey who live in Aberdeen took just two days to finish the 1,652-mile journey from John O'Groats to Land's End and back again in a 24kWh Nissan Leaf, using only publicly available and free EV charging points.
[2] In 2017 Chris and Julie Ramsey entered their Nissan Leaf in the Mongol Rally, becoming the first drivers of an electric vehicle to compete in the 10,000-mile competition.
These modifications included Speedline SL2 Marmora wheels and Maxsport RB3 tyres, as well as welded plates beneath the wishbones, an aluminium sump guard and a roof-mounted light bar.
[9][10] Speaking at the end of the rally, Chris Ramsey spoke about their achievement: "We want to get out there and dispel the myths about electric vehicles, that they're not fun, that you can't drive long distances or over challenging terrain,".
Chris provides educational lecturers to businesses and schools to help them understand the ecological and climate benefits of electric cars.
