Are you thinking of buying an EV car?
Do you want to try an e-bike or e-scooter or see Australia’s First EV ute? Zero Emissions Noosa invites you to the 2023 Noosa EV Expo & Street Fest on Sunday 18 June, 10am – 2pm in Sunshine Beach Rd, Noosa Junction.
“With 33 per cent of Noosa Shire emissions from transport, the EV Expo, now in its fifth year, is a great place to look, listen and learn about sustainable transport options. By using electric cars, scooters and bikes, we can reduce our carbon footprint while living and working in the Noosa Biosphere. Cutting emissions is everyone’s responsibility.”
Anne Kennedy, ZEN Inc. Chair says, “There’ll be something for everybody at this year’s EV Expo. It will showcase many types of EV’s – from a bus to the smallest scooter.”
“It is a one stop shop for people to look, listen and learn about the latest EV cars at all price points, as well as vans, motorbikes, bicycles and even an electric four-door ute. People will be also be able to find out about ‘green loans’ to finance new and second hand EVs.
“We have 64 enthusiastic exhibitors filling Sunshine Beach Road at Noosa Junction who are keen to show, explain and answer questions about their products. People who came last year said it was a great opportunity to look, listen and learn about everything EV.”
“You can test ride e-scooters and e-bikes, and also sign up to test drive an electric car on the days following the Expo. Private EV owners will have their EVs there so you can talk to them about what it is like to own and run and EV, said Anne Kennedy.”
For those wanting to find out more about the world of EV’s, stop by the Speakers Stage at the Expo and hear about buying and owning an EV car, as well as experts discussing many aspects of the booming EV world. For anyone who wants more … there’ll be the EV 101 Forum at ‘the J’ on Monday 19 June.
To top it off, E racing teams will have their amazing vehicles on display. Noosa Junction cafes will be open, and there’ll be musicians performing and face painting for kids.
Mayor Clare Stewart says “Noosa Council proudly supports this ZEN Inc. event and congratulates the business community from Noosa Junction Association and ZEN Inc. for again supporting this year’s EV Expo & Street Fest.”
“Zero Emissions Noosa Inc. really appreciates the support from Noosa Council and the Noosa Junction Association again supporting the Expo. We also want to give a shout out to our wonderful patrons Angela Whitbread and Tim Rossi and all our terrific sponsors who are helping to make the EV Expo and Street Fest happen,” Anne said.
“They include Greenfleet as our main stage sponsor, and gold sponsors Bendigo Bank, Polestar and Chlo Designs. BMW is returning as our luxury car sponsor, and silver sponsors are Evie, SIXT, Engie, Noosa Auto Group and VDI Yutong. RACV Resort Noosa is our accommodation sponsor and is teaming up again with Nissan.

Speaking from the EV Expo and Street Fest launch, Noosa Junction publicity manager Judi Lalor said locals and visitors can look forward to a fabulous, fun day out with plenty to see and do for all ages.
