The Guinness Book of World Records sent an official observer and recorded it as a record.
The record was for a production EV with standard equipment. That record has since been broken in a Tesla Model S. I worked for Simon at the time and it was fascinating to watch the logistics of driving an EV across Australia from north to south come together including a massive generator to charge the car every day. It really is possible to determine the diesel equivalent mileage of an EV when you pour the diesel into the generator every day.
