Big Boy Toys EV show is back!

Big Boys Toys will celebrate 21 years this year.

The New Zealand show attracted 33,329 attendees last year. This year, Big Boys Toys will showcase the ‘latest and greatest’ in products and services from the automotive, lifestyle and consumer electronics industries.

ASB Showgrounds in Greenlane will once again host Big Boys Toys from 1-3 November.

The electric avenue at Big Boy Toys is a celebration of all things electric. Last year, over 2000 EV test rides and drives were completed.

Event director Dean Wilson says the electric avenue was a huge success last year and was the largest EV event staged to a consumer audience in New Zealand.

“Big Boy Toys has always embraced innovation and made the commitment at last year’s show to embrace the EV resolution,” says Wilson.

The electric avenue allows companies to showcase their electric products to over 32,000 people.

Wilson says the electric avenue brings the EV sector to Big Boy Toys and signals to the public that electric vehicles are now a mainstream automotive option.

Touchpoll found that 96% of respondents gave a strong satisfaction rating, and 97% of visitors would recommend the show to others.

Electric avenue works with the team at ChargeNet NZ to:

• Build awareness in “all things electric” through displays and presentations
• Create interest in converting to EV through displays, awareness and test drives
• Create desire for people to purchase “all things electric”

“Exhibiting in the electric avenue allows the opportunity to be involved in test drive and rides for EVs, plus an e-bike trial area for e-bikes, e-scooters and e-skateboards,” adds Wilson.

This year’s slogan is ‘See It, Like It, Own It”.
