Talking about the final stretch, Mr Mansell, from Denby Dale, Kirklees, said: “We cycled all the way through the night over the Alps, it had been non-stop cycling.
“That was the hardest stretch by miles, but everyone was so psyched up and ready for it.”
He continued: “It was the very last climb and the biggest – we set off at about 21:00 on Monday after we’d had something to eat and we climbed up to 9,000ft.
“It was pitch black, it was freezing, quite windy, but it was amazing.”
Mr Dennis described the EV journey as “exhausting” due to problems finding charging points at the right times along the route.
The initial plan was to visit 20 countries in the EV, but the journey also passed through Monaco on the way to Nice.
