Electric show returns to Harrogate

An event that encourages people to switch to electric vehicles and renewable home energy is returning to Harrogate this spring.

Everything Electric is expected to attract a crowd of up to 25,000 people at the Great Yorkshire Event Centre on May 8 and 9.

The event, formerly called Everything Electric, was founded by Red Dwarf and Scrapheap Challenge star Robert Llewellyn, who is among the list of TV personalities and YouTube presenters due to attend this year.

This is the third consecutive year the event, which aims to meet the rising demand for electric vehicles and home energy solutions in northern England, is being held in Harrogate.

Visitors will be able to test drive electric vehicles, bikes, scooters, and skateboards and learn more about green home energy.

In response to the growing focus on fleet electrification and salary sacrifice, organisers are running a business-to-business EV day on the Friday (May 8), alongside the consumer show.

Panellists and guests will take part in a live theatre programme, which covers topics such as clean energy, sustainable living and future tech phenomena, including AI and robots.
