The show has been running for eight years, with 300 episodes appearing on Youtube. The new exhibition, Fully Charged LIVE, will run on Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th June and tickets are now on general release. The Fully Charged audience has grown by more than 1,000 percent as interest in low-emission vehicles and low-carbon technology has accelerated, resulting in hundreds of thousand of viewers and around two million episode views per month. The interest in a live exhibition is therefore fairly high.
The event is being sponsored by Ecotricity and visitors will be able to access an array of features including the UK debut of Tesla's Tiny House, an Ask The Experts area, every Electric Vehicle available in the UK and an Exhibition of Renewable Energy Technologies, with more attractions to be announced in the run-up to the show. Visitors will also be able to hear from leading energy and transport experts in entertaining theatre sessions to be hosted by Fully Charged presenters Robert Llewellyn (Channel 4's Scrapheap Challenge, BBC's Red Dwarf), Jonny Smith (Channel 5's Fifth Gear) and Helen Czerski (BBC's From Ice to Fire).
There will be at least a dozen live sessions including: 'Introduction to owning an Electric Vehicle', 'Generating your own heat and power at home' and 'Global Shift: what does the next decade look like for Energy and Transport?' Confirmed participants include Ecotricity's founder, Dale Vince, as well as Imogen Pierce from Jaguar Land Rover, Francisco Carranza from Nissan Energy Services, Tom Callow from Chargemaster, Graeme Cooper from the National Grid, Nina Skorupska from the REA and Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield from Transport Evolved.
“We're ludicrously excited about bringing Fully Charged to a live audience at Silverstone, not least because the shift to the technologies that we're passionate about has really accelerated in recent months” said Robert Llewellyn. “The Fully Charged team and the show's steering committee have worked tirelessly to include the ingredients that our audience love in a live format and we're really looking forward to welcoming you on the 9th & 10th June. We've had huge support from the energy and transport sectors, but I'd like to personally thank our headline sponsors Ecotricity, and our key partners Chargemaster, Drive Electric and the Renewable Energy Assocation, for making Fully Charged LIVE a reality
