Electricarna 2026

Sat, Mar. 14, 2026 10:00 — 14:00 Auckland – Tāmaki Makaurau Waikato Hawke’s Bay – Te Matau a Māui Taranaki Manawatū – Whanganui Wellington – Te Whanganui-a-Tara

Electricarna is fast approaching and we want to share something of the programme we are putting together for the event.  Since last year Northcroft Reserve has had a make-over to offer an easier layout for market stalls but that is going to suit our EV display perfectly.

We are very honoured to have Scott Willis the Green Party list MP attending Electricarna this year; Scott is their energy, regional development, rural communities and Dunedin issues spokesperson. He has put his name down for a Tesla Test drive!

Representatives from ChargeNet, Drive EV and Rewiring Aotearoa add to the mix as well as the owner/drivers of a wide-ranging assembly of vehicles, including some EV conversions.  JAC trucks are bringing a commercial vehicle, and Ebbett Rotorua are bringing a couple of BYD cars to display.  It is shaping up to be an awesome day.

Tesla will be there and offering test drives of both a Model 3 and a Model Y – check out the sign-up document here :-

I should mention that coffee, icecreams and bacon sandwiches will be on offer – you don’t necessarily need to eat them altogether!

We look forward to seeing lots of interested visitors!
