About this event

Thinking about an electric vehicle but not sure where to start?

You’re not alone. With so much information and misinformation out there, making the switch to an EV can feel overwhelming.

Join EV experts Tim Eden from The Driven and Sarah Aubrey from Electrify This for a practical, myth-busting conversation designed for everyday people who are curious about EVs but unsure where to begin.

This informative online session will unpack the real-world experience of EV ownership in a simple, accessible and jargon-free way.

Topics include:

What to consider when buying an EV
What you can and can’t know before purchasing
Charging at home and on the road
Real-world driving experiences
Battery life, servicing and maintenance
Insurance
Tyres, running costs and savings
Regenerative braking explained simply
Common myths and misconceptions about EVs

Whether you’re actively researching an EV or simply curious, this session will help you better understand how electric vehicles fit into modern Australian households and why more people are making the switch.
