More than 6,500 people attended the 8th Annual Noosa EV & Electrify Everything Expo at Noosa Junction on Sunday 21 June, demonstrating the Sunshine Coast community's growing interest in reducing household energy and transport costs.
Hosted by local not-for-profit Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN), the free Expo is now Queensland's largest community event dedicated to transport and home and business electrification. More than 65 exhibitors showcased electric vehicles, e-bikes, home batteries, solar systems, EV chargers and energy management solutions designed to help households and businesses save money.
Visitors compared more than 30 electric vehicles from over 20 brands, spoke with independent Energy Champions, industry experts including Giles Parkinson from The Driven, test rode e-bikes and scooters, and explored practical electrification options with local businesses.
Visitor feedback showed the Expo is helping people make informed decisions. Three in four attendees (75%) said the Expo helped them with an EV or e-mobility purchasing decision, while 85% intend to purchase within the next 12 months. A further 85% said the Expo helped inform decisions about home or business electrification, including home batteries (39%) and EV chargers (28%).
The value of the Expo was reflected in visitor comments, including: "Everything in one place with so much owner and company information. Fantastic!" and "Great to talk to several people without an agenda to sell something." Others praised the knowledgeable volunteers and the opportunity to compare a wide range of products in one location.
Delivered by more than 50 volunteers, together with sponsors, exhibitors and community partners, the Expo continues to provide independent, practical information that empowers people to make confident decisions to reduce their energy and transport costs
