Wiebe Wakker Biography

Wiebe Wakker, a Dutchman born in December 1986, undertook an extraordinary journey from Amsterdam to Australia in his fully electric vehicle, the "Blue Bandit".

To reach Sydney, Wakker asked strangers to 'plug him in' with energy. On this website, people could select their location and offer him a bed, a meal or a socket to charge his car. Based on these offers, the route was determined and Wakker drove criss-cross over the world, even earning him the nickname of 'The Forrest Gump of Automotive'

Of course, his adventure was not without its struggles and he had to overcome a number of challenges. But time and again Wakker managed to get further, thanks to the help of friendly locals or his online followers.

Eventually, Wakker reached his destination after 1,119 days, 33 countries and 95,000 kilometers, completing the longest electric car journey.

Now a speaker, Wakker inspires audiences with tales of his perseverance and dedication to sustainable living, encouraging others to achieve their dreams and give a positive view on the world.
