It needs to stop and recharge every 40 miles, a process that takes about five hours.
Printing enthusiast and driver Simon Rigby, 48, said: "The driving is great fun and there's no point in being in a hurry when you're in a milk float."
The vehicle will be at the Cornucopia festival, a two-day celebration of music and green living in the Wolds country- side. It is being headlined by former Dr Feelgood frontman Wilko Johnson and classic British R&B band Nine Below Zero.
