World’s Quietest Race Underway in Rovinj: Nikola Tesla EV Rally 2022

Did you hear about the time Elon Musk’s mum took part in a electric car race driving a Tesla? Not many have (That Time Elon Musk’s Mum Maye Came on the Nikola Tesla EV Rally in Croatia).

(Maye Musk with event organisers Igor and Tina Kolovrat)

Or that time when a Jadrolinija ferry was 100% occupied by electric cars, an image which was shared on social media by Musk’s Tesla company?

Or the time that Croatia’s own electric car genius, Mate Rimac, took part in speed tests on the same rally in his Concept_One?

One of the very best events in Croatia is underway for a ninth year, the Nikola Tesla EV Rally 2022, which kicked off in Istria, and which will be making its way down the coast to Zadar over the next week. More than 60 electric vehicles, predominantly Teslas, will be taking part in the quietest race in the world.

An excellent week of 5-star hotels, excellent Croatian gastronomy and culture are being enjoyed by a very international field, as well as speed skill exams for competitors to pit their skills against each other. 

A key component of the rally each year is connecting with the public who are interested in learning more about the electric car revolution. The programme of this year’s rally is below, with local tourist boards able to inform you on exact arrival times and locations.
