The sponsorship showcases Gemtek’s support for the Australian EV industry and the relationships that Gemtek has built within the EV community. Ed Kestel, Gemtek’s Solution Architect, said “As a founding sponsor, we are very happy to be continuing our support for TOCEVA. This is a mammoth undertaking by the team and we wish them the very best as they share their energy and continue to educate the community about electric vehicles and the challenges of charging in remote locations.”
The TOCEVA racing team is a community of electric vehicle enthusiasts that are determined to disprove the myth that electric cars were unable to compete in tarmac rallies against traditional ICE vehicles. They have continued to work hard to ensure the Tesla Model 3 is performance compliant to meet the requirements to compete in future rally competitions.
The upcoming Perth to Sydney Marathon will get underway from Perth’s Wellington Square on 28 October and arrive at Warwick Farm in Sydney 10 days later.
“We are taking on an unprecedented challenge crossing the country in an EV navigating some very remote gravel roads competing in a field of nearly 80 conventionally fuelled rally cars,” said Jon Edwards, TOCEVA Racing team manager.
