Hundreds of EVs and Tesla’s FSD to headline record-breaking EV test drive experience

PRESS RELEASE

MELBOURNE, November 3, 2025: Everything Electric, the world’s leading home energy and electric vehicle show, will make its Melbourne debut this month, delivering the largest electric vehicle test drive experience the state has ever seen.

Running from November 14 to 16 at Melbourne Showgrounds, the three-day event will give visitors the chance to get behind the wheel of dozens of electric vehicles from the world’s biggest EV manufacturers all in one place, on one weekend.

In a world-first demonstration, Tesla will publicly showcase its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) technology in right-hand drive vehicles, giving Melburnians an exclusive opportunity to experience autonomous driving first-hand.

“Until now, our Full Self-Driving (Supervised) test drives have only been available at Tesla dealerships, but at Everything Electric Melbourne, a dedicated fleet will give thousands of attendees the chance to experience this groundbreaking technology firsthand,” said Thom Drew, Country Director, Tesla Australia and New Zealand Pacific Operations.

“Our presence at the Sydney Show earlier this year unveiled the new Model Y, and in Melbourne we’ll take it further – demonstrating our safety-focused capabilities with FSD (Supervised) and revealing some exciting surprises.”

Alongside Tesla, visitors can get behind the wheel of electric vehicles of all shapes, sizes and price points including Geely, Leapmotor, Polestar, Renault, Volkswagen, Xpeng, and Zeekr, as well as electric motorcycles and commercial vehicles.

Test drives will be given on a first-come, first-served basis and will need to be booked directly with the manufacturers at the event. Information on required documents is available here.

“Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (supervised) demonstration is a world first in right-hand drive vehicles and an incredible moment for Melbourne,” said Carlo Zoccali, Chief Commercial Officer of Everything Electric. It shows how far the EV movement has come, and it’s exactly the kind of milestone Everything Electric was built to deliver as we bring together the largest collection of EVs and clean energy innovations under one roof,” he said.

Beyond the cars: Home energy, expert talks, and more

Beyond EV test drives and exhibits, Everything Electric will showcase the latest innovations in home energy, solar, battery systems, and Vehicle-to-Grid technology.

Victorians can meet one-on-one with energy specialists in the Home Energy Zone and attend a three-day theatre programme featuring more than 140 speakers across 45 live sessions, covering everything from EV myths and charging solutions to sustainability and smart energy systems.
