My name is Marek Kaminski.

I'm a polar explorer,

and now I'm on my "No Trace Expedition"

with a Nissan LEAF

from Poland to Japan

across Russia, Siberia, Mongolia, China and Korea.

The concept of the "No trace expedition" comes from my past,

from my travels to North Pole, to South Pole.

The only trace that I left was the trace in the snow.

I started to think

how it's possible to travel without a trace,

and then I came to idea maybe to travel with a solar

or electric car,

with a zero-emission car.

It's a normal car,

but it is adapted for this expedition.

These solutions make this trip possible.

For example, the bed.

And you have different lights inside, and also plugs.

When I drive I have, really, everything available,

and I can just drive all day

without stepping out of the car.

I have many plugs,

and I have a special charger,

so I can charge

my LEAF everywhere

with different kinds of electricity,

from 6 amperes up to 35 amperes.

With this special charger,

I can charge it in five or four hours.

Many times,

the car was in very hard conditions,

but nothing happened.

The Nissan LEAF performed well.

I had nothing to fix on the way, not even one screw.

I think the crucial thing for this expedition is recovery.

My strategy is to be relaxed, to be connected with nature.

The electric car is really the future.

Many people think that electric cars

are only just for the city

and short distances, but it's not true.

I think, with the electric car,

now you can drive everywhere.

My trip proves it.

There are so many possibilities with electric cars,

that we don't know yet how it will change our lives.
