After its hugely successful inaugural event in Sydney last month, Fully Charged Live says it will be back in 2024, this time as a three day event at the Sydney Showgrounds to allow it to offer more EV test drives.
This year’s event far exceeded the show organisers’ expectations, attracting around 14,000 paying visitors – said to be a record for a first event in a new city.
The move to Sydney Showground will enable the event to expand and offer EV test drives to visitors, something it was unable to do at this year’s venue.
Organisers say the show is also being rebranded as “Everything Electric Australia, powered by Fully Charged” which will align with the broader scope of the event to include home electrification products as well as charging infrastructure, electric cars, bikes and e-mobility.
The organisers believe that its Australian show has the potential to grow significantly in future years. There will now be seven events globally in 2024 running under the new ‘Everything Electric’ brand.
Commenting on the show’s success in Australia, Fully Charged founder, Robert Llewellyn said: “It’s not often that I am shocked – or short of words – but Fully Charged Live Australia was an incredible launch,”
“Every single person that we have spoken to was delighted with our exhibition and its potential is evident. We’re so excited about returning that the event will be a month earlier and will take place over 3 days.
“Additionally, we are absolutely stoked to be moving the show – as Everything Electric Australia – to the stunning Sydney Showground, where we have all we need to make the exhibition bigger and better than before,” said Llewellyn.
“We have 5 more events before then, with two in the UK, and others in Canada, the US and Europe, but we will be back before you know it, and we can’t wait!”
The exhibition will return with all of its 2023 attractions and more, and new organisations that are interested in participating in 2024, are encouraged to email commercial@fullycharged.show. Note: The Driven was a media partner with Fully Charged Live at its inaugural show.
