FRIDAY, APRIL 5TH, 2019 - 3:30 PM - 5 PM

FIORDLAND COMMUNITY EVENTS CENTRE CARPARK

A contingent of the #LeadingTheCharge Great EV Road Trip will be passing through Te Anau this year for the first time.

Now in the 5th year, the Road Trip can finally make it to the West Coast due to improvements in the national charging network, and improved vehicle batteries.  This will be even easier once planned west coast chargers are fully installed during 2019.

Once Fiordland is linked to the national charging network, owning an EV will become a realistic alternative for locals.  We will have about three EV options for you to view and experienced owners/Better NZ Trust volunteers will be on hand to discuss what living with an electric vehicle is like.

So bring your questions and your curiosity and take advantage of this free event outside the Fiordland Events Centre.

SATURDAY 2ND MARCH 2019, FROM 10:00AM

SUNDAY APRIL 14TH 2019, 4PM - 5PM

Directly after the annual #LeadingTheCharge Road Trip has left Lyttelton, they'll be heading into Sumner for a late afternoon of Electric Vehicles on the beachfront.

This is your chance to catch this large group of Electric Vehicle owners from across the country in a wide range of electric models.  If you have questions or just want to know more about this sustainable transport option, please come and find us.  There will also be cars to test drive with no sales pressure.

Electric vehicles (EVs) aren’t the stuff of science fiction, they are very real and they are here to stay! 

If you haven’t seen an electric vehicle for yourself, come along to a Leading The Charge event.  At these events, you will be able to talk to some of the owners or read information about the current EV situation in New Zealand and what steps are being taken to increase uptake.
