# 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.
