Abgd - no, it did not as far as I know. It was competing with 3 other aircraft who did the same routing. The E-Genius came in second place, which is another electric airplane:
e-Genius flies into the record books, averages 100 mph over 211 miles
The two other ones were gas or hybrid powered and ended up last. Here's the full list of the performances:

Yes, Pipistrel is a very interesting company. Their Panthera looks to be a real killer when it gets out. Will be available with IO-390, hybrid, or full electric. The electric version has considerably lower performance and only a range of 250nm or something, but it's a start. As batteries improve, you can just upgrade.
