Electric vehicles are the way of the future. They are clean, green, quiet, and powerful. In the coming decade, EVs will become more affordable. Many of us will be driving them and that means cuts in greenhouse gases and cleaner air in our cities. Come and see what is available and hear from experts in the field. Hear the latest on batteries, the economics of EVs, the benefits of going electric and how to turn your petrol burner into an eco-friendly car.
Our speakers include:
- The Hon. Minister Mark Bailey, Queensland Minister for Transport and Main Roads
- Dr Anna Mortimore, Griffith Business School
- Leslie Smith, Secretary of the Queensland Branch of the Australian Electrical Vehicle Association
- John Murray, EV enthusiast and author of the book Supercharged Momentum: The Century of the Electric Car
- Graeme Manietta – owner of Oz-DIY Electric Vehicles – he loves converting cars to EV
Free Morning Tea (including canapes, tea and coffee) will be available. There will be plenty of time to mingle, talk to the speakers and admire the vehicles on show.
We will also have latest on the ACF's campaigns to promote a clean and green recovery from the COVID crisis, for anyone who would like to know more.
So spread the word and be sure to join us on June 27!
