Motor shows are officially back in Australia, and it's all because of electric cars.
The Sydney International EV motor show is returning this October to the ICC Sydney, proving the EV show wasn’t just a flash in the pan.
The organiser of the show, Ray Evans, said they are expecting about 40,000 visitors to come through the gates over three days.
“The exceptional response has proven that Australians are hungry for EV knowledge and options," said Evans.
"This year we're delivering exactly what the market wants - hands-on experiences with over 100 vehicles, test drives, daily sessions and a New Model Stage.”
The show will give potential customers a chance to get up close and personal with some of the newest names in the EV game.
Brands such as Farizon, Lotus, Polestar, Smart, Volvo, XPeng and Zeekr will have current and coming models on display.
Volvo Australia boss Stephen Connor said the company is committed to a fully electric future.
"This year we have already introduced three new all-electric models to Australia, and to date our all-electric lineup equates to 40 per cent of our total volume," said Connor.
Volvo will have the new ES90 electric sedan on display at the show. Attendees can also check out the $1.2m Rolls-Royce Spectre EV.
Some experts have predicted Australian EV sales to balloon to between 15 and 19 per cent next year, according to the show organisers. Currently EV sales only make up about 7.7 per cent of new car sales through the first eight months of this year.
The show runs from October 31 to November 2nd and tickets start from $35.00 and are available now from Ticketmaster.
