Project EVIE was a non-profit organization founded in the United States aiming to promote the adoption of electric vehicles.
On June 1, 2010, the organization intended to launch the first expedition to drive around the world in a production electric vehicle.

From idealist.org: Project EVIE's expedition was intended to begin in New Zealand, continue by boat to Australia,[3] then to Singapore.
The expedition would have gone around the Darién Gap by boat from Colombia to Panama and continued to the United States on the Pan-American Highway, ending in New York City.
