NRMA EV Drive Day St Ives 2024

What & Why

  • NRMA, supported by the NSW (and ACT) Government, runs a series of free “EV Drive Days” to give people first-hand experience with electric vehicles (EVs). 
  • Aimed at both individual consumers and fleet/business managers, the events help clear up confusion around EV ownership—covering purchasing, charging, and real-world driving. 

Event Format

  • Test Drives: Hands-on drives or passenger “ride-alongs” in various EV models with a qualified instructor.
  • Expert Presentations & Q&A: Sessions with industry experts, vehicle manufacturers, charging-equipment providers and energy companies.
  • Info Stalls: Manufacturer displays, plus food and beverage stalls (paid). 
  • Walk-through of EV features, paired with a driving expert on each test drive. 
  • Fleet-Specific Days: Dedicated events tailored to business and fleet decision-makers, showcasing commercial EV options.

Who Can Attend

  • Open and free to everyone—NRMA members and non-members alike. Bring friends and family! 
  • Ideal for “EV curious” first-timers, current EV owners, and fleet managers exploring electrification.
  • No entry fee—but if you want to test-drive, you must pre-book timeslots (limited availability).
  • Free on-site parking. Check each event listing for venue details.
