Carl Reese (born April 17, 1969, Grove City, PA) is a Guinness World Records record-holder. He is best known for his many transcontinental driving achievements.

1. Shortest Charging Time Coast to Coast Guinness World Record

Carl Reese, Deena Mastracci and Rod Hawk on April 16-19th of 2015 the trio officially broke a Guinness Book of World EV Record for Shortest amount of charging from Los Angeles to New York City. With a total charging time of 12 hours 48 minutes and 14 seconds. The team was supported by Matt, Johnnie, Anthony.[1]

2. Transcontinental EV Record Team

Carl Reese, Deena Mastracci and Rod Hawk on April 16-19th of 2015 the team also broke the Fastest Los Angeles to New York City in an EV 58:55. The record was also supported by Anthony Alvarado , Johnnie Oberg, Matt Nordenstrom.[2]

In 1968, the Great Transcontinental Electric Car Race was held between student groups at Caltech and MIT.[3][4] The Caltech team, led by EV pioneer Wally Rippel, converted a 1958 VW Microbus powered by Ni-Cad batteries. The MIT team converted a 1968 Chevrolet Corvair powered by lead cobalt batteries. The MIT team raced from Cambridge, Massachusetts to Pasadena, California, while the Caltech team raced the opposite direction. A network of 54 charging locations were set up along the 3311 mile route – spaced 21 to 95 miles apart.[5] The race began on August 26, and ended on September 4th. Although the MIT team reached Pasadena first, they were towed part of the way. After assessing penalty points, Caltech was declared the winner with a corrected time of 210 hours 3 minutes.[6]

With the introduction of long range EVs, such as the Tesla Roadster and in particular the Tesla Model S, coast to coast travel became more feasible. In January 2014 Tesla Motors completed the first coast to coast corridor in their supercharging network for the Model S. A team from Tesla Motors completed a 3427-mile route from Los Angeles to New York City run in 76 hours, 5 minutes. (Time included 60 hours, 8 minutes driving, and 15 hours, 57 minutes charging.)[7] In July 2014, a team from Edmunds completed a slightly shorter 3331.9 mile route in 67 hours, 21 minutes. (Time included 52 hours, 41 minutes driving, and 14 hours, 40 minutes charging.)[8] The initial cross country supercharging route was sub-optimal for New York-Los Angeles runs, notably due to the link between Denver and Chicago running through South Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin along Interstate 90.

Carl J Reese, co-drivers Rodney Hawk, and Deena Mastracci took advantage of a newly opened corridor on Interstate 70 to drive the 3011 mile route from the City Hall Los Angeles to the City Hall New York City in 58 hours and 55 minutes April 16–19, 2015, a new record for EVs, in a 2015 Tesla Model S P85D. The drivers stopped 24 times for electric charging. Total charge time of 12 hours 48 minutes. As proof, Reese presented 16 documents notarized on both ends, identifying drivers and 3 eye-witness: Matt Nordenstrom, Johnnie Oberg Jr, and Anthony Alvarado. Complete GPS logs recorded by GPSInsight (a fleet tracking company) were sent to Jalopnik, Guinness Book of World Records. GPSInsight provided GPS tracking equipment to the team to verify the event. Reese's team of 3 drivers broke Tesla Motors (team of 15 drivers) previous record of 76 hours 5 Minutes and Edmunds.com (team of 2 drivers) previous record of 67 hours 21 Minutes.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

5. Double Transcontinental EV Record Couple

Deena Mastracci and Carl Reese on 22 October 2015 turned the car back towards Los Angeles after less than 28 hours in NYC and drove the EV back to the Portofino Hotel, in Redondo Beach, CA. They managed set the Double Transcontinental Record with a time of 6 Days 6 hours and 22 minutes. Beating Dan Edmunds and Kurt Niebuhrs time of 6 days 23 hours and 4 minutes.

Odometer leaving LA 27,884 on Oct 18th at 9:15 pm Odometer leaving NYC 30,879 on Oct 21st at 10:03 am Odometer arrived back in LA 33,877 on Oct 25th at 3:37am


With all Carl's records notaries were present to sign witness statements of both departure and arrival. Transcontinental Drivers Association www.transcondrivers.org has verified Mr. Reese's documents. GPSinsight.com Fleet management company provided 3rd party verification for each of Carl Reese's records. [9]
