Chris Ramsey

Chris Ramsey is the most successful electric vehicle adventurer on the planet and has inspired countries and individuals globally to take climate action through his world first expeditions, as well as captivating audiences around the world through his exciting and inspirational keynote talks.

Pioneering a new form of adventure travel more than a decade ago, his tenacious and passionate determination to inspire, to be the change he wanted to see in the world, and to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles was unfaltering. He has gone on to complete 12 expeditions, travelled across over 35 countries, became an accomplished global speaker and is seen by his peers as an industry hero, pioneering leader, and someone that dares to do what others won’t.

Chris catapulted himself into the world’s living rooms in 2023 when he became the first person in history to driving a vehicle from Pole to Pole, and not just any vehicle, his 100% electric Nissan Ariya. No adventurer, explorer or vehicle has ever attempted this expedition in the 138yr history of the car, Chris is the first. Chris and his co-driver, his wife Julie, set off from the 1823 Magnetic North Pole 220 miles into the Canadian Arctic Ocean battling temperatures of -39 and a meeting with a Polar Bear, and proceeded to drive 22,000miles through North, Central and South America and then continued into Antarctica, finally arriving at the Geographic South Pole in Antarctica. 

Pushing electric vehicles, charging infrastructure and ultimately his physical and emotional capabilities, Chris’s expeditions have taken him across Europe, Asia and the America’s and also involved him swapping four wheels for an electric bicycle to beat the Guinness World Record for "the longest distance covered on an electric bicycle in 12 hours". Breaking the former record by over 60 miles, he travelled 177.81 miles in an incredible feat of endurance. A truly inspiring figure, and described by some as THE adventurer of our lifetime.

Chris invites audiences to embark on his journeys with him, providing a backstage pass to the world of international adventuring. He instils in them the knowledge necessary for setting and achieving their goals, including such skills as resilience and determination. Infused throughout every speech are important messages about sustainability, as well as actionable methods for living a more eco-friendlier lifestyle, tailored to both individuals and corporate audiences alike. Additionally, as a technology speaker, he discusses the recent advancements in the electric industry that allowed him to travel the world, from battery range to global charging infrastructure.
