The show also featured 18 live sessions and panel discussions, giving audiences the chance to hear from 40 experts across the automotive and renewable energy sectors. The inaugural event surpassed all expectations of the organisers, attracting huge numbers of people interested in switching to EVs or who drive EVs currently. Inside the iconic Silverstone Wing, large audiences at the various speaker sessions often meant standing-room only for those attending.
“We were blown away by the level of interest, enthusiasm and appetite for electric vehicles and renewable energy shown by the thousands of visitors that attended Fully Charged LIVE” said Robert Llewellyn, founder of Fully Charged. “The transition to plug-in motoring, which will help pave the way to a cleaner future for our children, is occurring at a rapid pace, and it’s heartening to see so many people looking to make the switch to more sustainable technologies.”
Exhibitors at the event came from a number of industries, with the latest products on show from EV pioneers Tesla, Jaguar, and Nissan, as well as electric motorcycle manufacturer Zero. Other exhibitors included renewable energy companies and charging infrastructure providers such as Ecotricity and Chargemaster, plus EV and hybrid leasing companies, such as Drive Electric.
The show also featured one of the first public UK appearances of the all-new Jaguar I-PACE, the best-selling Nissan LEAF, plus the entire Tesla range.
Plans are already underway for Fully Charged LIVE 2019, with the organisers promising a ‘bigger, better, and busier’ show. Forthcoming episodes of Fully Charged on YouTube will look ahead to next year while reviewing the plethora of topics covered by this year’s speakers.
