Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
The 2014 Auckland Electric Vehicle Expo
EV Builders Presents… In collaboration with APEV
(Association for the Promotion of Electric Vehicles) and
MOTAT
Saturday 8th November
2014
MOTAT, 805 Great North Road, Western Springs,
Auckland
…An exhibition and forum for all things
relating to electric vehicles…
This Expo was first launched three years ago with the birth of the self-funded “EV Builders” documentary series; following the conversion of the 1990 Toyota Sera into an electrically powered vehicle by a couple of self-proclaimed “average blokes”.
Following on from the success of the last three Expos, and with the conversion of the Toyota Sera now complete; we bring you the 2014 Auckland Electric Vehicle Expo, in collaboration with APEV (Association for the Promotion of Electric Vehicles - www.apev.org.nz). This year the event will be appropriately hosted at MOTAT, the heart of historical Auckland transport and technology achievements.
This year the Expo will have even more EVs on display, including the famous 100% electric Tesla Roadster and the new Mitsubishi Outlander Plug In Hybrid, the first hybrid SUV. The day's programme will be packed with displays and give you plenty of opportunities to talk with EV drivers and builders.
The aim of both the documentary project and this years’ Expo is to explore and investigate the work of local individuals and organisations that have been working in this field, see what progress has been made, and create a support network with experienced and knowledgeable mentors.
The Auckland Electric Vehicle Expo aims to build awareness of the ‘EV’ industry within New Zealand, in order to enable us as a country to live up to our ‘clean, green image’. It also provides a fantastic opportunity to meet those involved in the ‘EV’ industry and get your questions answered, as well as keep up with the progression made in the industry to date.
