Very cool - although snarks might ask how driving an F-150 cross country that you wouldn't have otherwise is carbon-neutral.

For safety and practicality reasons, the drivers will have a Ford F-150 EcoBoost support vehicle, which will permit teams to proceed ahead of the Focus to help ensure all the drivers receive full night’s sleep daily. The trip will be analyzed and rendered carbon-neutral using ignition’s iSES™ sustainability program, via offset donations provided by Carbonfund.org

Good luck with recharging in the middle of the country. I wonder if the F150 just has a generator on it.

Dumb.
