Hunter Valley Electric Vehicle Festival
The Hunter Valley Electric Vehicle Festival (EVFest 2014), being held on 16-17 August, is being marketed as the most fun and comprehensive electric vehicle festival in Australia.
It is designed to encourage all sectors of the community to think of sustainable transport in fun and innovative ways that support the development of electric vehicle industries in the region.
On 16 August, EVShow will include demonstrations, workshops, displays and a Charity Electric Bike Ride. The EVPrize competition race day, Australia's largest electric bike Grand Prix, will be held on 17 August at Cameron Park Raceway.
The Hunter Valley Electric Vehicle Festival is delivered each year by a range of supportive Hunter organisations and businesses, led by the Tom Farrell Institute for the Environment at the University of Newcastle.
