Over the weekend of August 9th, Elon Musk & Tesla Model S 100D tweeted about setting
a world record per his tweet here:

According to Elon Musk’s tweet, a Model S/100D that was hypermiling traveled 1,083KM(
673 miles) on a single charge, making it a record.

# The Phoenix

However, environmentalist [Eric Lundgren](https://greenlivingguy.com/2017/05/lundgren-recycle-electric-environmentalist-breaks-records/)
actually surpassed this by traveling 748 miles (1,203KM) on a single charge on real
road conditions in California (not hypermiling) in a car he built in less than 40
days for $13,800 dubbed ‘The Phoenix.

This electric vehicle now breaks the World Record as the car with the lowest carbon
footprint and farthest range at highway speeds, all while built with 90% recycled
materials by weight. The purpose of ‘The [Phoenix](https://greenlivingguy.com/2007/03/electric-cars-and-hollywood-stars-automotive-industry-education-foundation-joins-the-party-as-the-all-electric-phoenix-sut-is-unveiled/)‘
is to demonstrate “Hybrid Recycling,” and help show the world what is possible from
electronic vehicles.

## **About Eric Lundgrenis**

Electronic waste recycling pioneer and electric vehicle world record holder Eric
Lundgrenis known for innovating and leading a national movement for individuals 
and businesses to utilize a process he calls Hybrid Recycling. With a client roster
of Fortune 500 companies including [Nintendo](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/06/oregon-protects-shark-fins-with-new-legislation/),
Motorola, Panasonic, Dell, Best Buy and more, Eric promotes that re-use is the purest
form of recycling, and to put this into action he created America’s leading hybrid
recycling plant called ITAP.

 Electronic Waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the United
States. However yet our country lacks a real solution to efficiently process this
waste system. Most e-Waste is landfilled at a financial costs. Especially and to
the detriment of the environment. Moreover and other e-Waste is exported to third-
world countries. That’s where in-humane processing methods are used. All which will
lead to wide-spread injury and death.

After witnessing firsthand how are e-waste is polluting the earth in his global 
travels, Eric created a real solution for the e-Waste epidemic. Through efficiency
and innovation, his company identifies all generic parts and components. That’s 
of value and preserve is discarded e-waste. I mean rather than just destroy them.

They then extract and re-integrate into new applications. Eric calls this “Hybrid
Recycling”.  For this, it decreases the demand for raw material production. Thereby
conserving our natural resources and reducing our carbon footprint.

 With Eric’s new world record, he also has emerged as the industry leader in efficient Hybrid Recycling. This remarkable story with [green technology innovations](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/09/zinco-usa-leaders-in-green-roof-innovation/) offer practical
and effective solutions. Especially to minimize e-Waste through hybrid recycling.
Currently, Eric Lundgren is on track to build and run the world’s first 1,000 MILE
car. This future run is also scheduled for next month. For it will be at the AutoClubSpeedway
in Fontana, CA.
