Noosa EV Expo promises a packed program

Grade 6 Sunshine Beach students.

Organisers of the Noosa EV Expo this Sunday are promising an exciting, fun experience for event attendees.

“In a first for Noosa, the expo is taking over the whole of Sunshine Beach Road in Noosa Junction, and you will need to plan ahead to make sure you don’t miss anything,” event coordinator Vivien Griffin said.

A face painter, buskers and great food from the local cafes will be part of the mix, as well as a huge display of all types of electric transport. Visitors will also have the chance to go in the draw for a luxury accommodation package sponsored by RACV Noosa Resort, and the first 250 visitors who come by bus will be presented with a voucher for two free trees from Noosa Landcare.

“Visitors should check out the Ioniq 5 which will be powering our Speakers’ Tent, and we will also be showcasing at least 10 different brands of electric cars, from the luxury end of the market to the more affordable models which qualify for the Queensland government $3000 subsidy,” Vivien said.

“With fuel prices heading up, many people are starting to think that their next car will be electric, and the expo is a great opportunity to ask the hard questions of both owners and dealers.

“Of course, we will also have our popular trial rides for e-bikes and e-scooters, together with displays of electric mopeds, motorbikes, buses and trucks.

“Both University of Queensland and University of Technology electric racing teams will also be bringing their vehicles along to highlight career opportunities in the electric transport field.

“Also, look out for the Grade 6 Sunshine Beach students, with their Noosa Enduro driving circuit for miniature electric cars.”

“We are delighted to welcome Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey to the event once more, and this year we will have a full program of speakers with practical information on everything you wanted to know about electric vehicles.”

The event is proudly supported by Noosa Council and Noosa Junction Association.

The event goes from 10am-2pm and is located in Sunshine Beach Road, Noosa Junction.

The road will be closed from 6.30am to 3.30pm, with car parking available in Bottle Brush Avenue car park, and Lanyana Way.

The Go Noosa free buses will be in operation.
