Take Charge Events Limited is delivering the Take Charge Expo to showcase the latest and greatest in battery electric vehicles to give the public the chance to see first-hand the vehicle technology that is available to make the switch from fossil-fuelled vehicles.

The two-day expo will take place at Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre over the weekend of 23 and 24 November and will be free for the public to attend.

There will be over 20 battery electric cars on show at the Expo and the vehicles will cover a range of price points.

BMW, BYD, CUPRA, Kia, MG, MINI, Omoda, Porsche, Tesla, Volkswagen and Volvo, will be among the four-wheeled brands represented at the Expo.

The Kia EV3 will be displayed to the public for the first time in New Zealand at such an event.

Evnex will be displaying their electric vehicle charger.

“The Take Charge Expo is free to attend to encourage anyone with an interest in battery electric vehicles to come along and see first-hand the range of technology on display and ask questions of the expert exhibitors,” says Take Charge Events Limited Director Kevin Crutchley.

“There will be prizes available, courtesy of some of the exhibitors.”
