Leicester Audi 'E' Peaks Challenge

On the 13th August 2021 a small group of colleagues from Leicester Audi are going to take on the National Three Peaks Challenge..... with a difference!

What is The Leicester Audi ‘E’ Peaks Challenge?

Our idea is that instead of using a standard fuelled car to drive from one peak to the next, our team will be using a small fleet of all electric Audi cars!

With the cars being an all-electric, it presents a unique aspect to the challenge in that our team need to plan their route to include stop offs & timings all around available charge points and of course charging times.

What is Our Aim?

To raise as much money as we can for BEN - Motor & Allied Trades Benevolent Fund in an eco-friendly way and to have some fun (well, as much fun that can be had climbing 3 mountains in 24hours!)

The challenge is in memory of our loved colleague and friend Will, who sadly passed away recently and is missed by all.
