EV Gala Day this Sunday

EV owners are expected in droves at the EV Gala Day on Waiheke Island, Sunday February 26, 2pm-4pm, with attendance free.

A Guinness World Record attempt will be made for the most EVs in one place on a residential island, with EV owners invited to assemble their vehicles at the PlaceMakers Waiheke and Waiheke Living carpark, Ostend, Waiheke Island, from 2.15pm, says organiser the Electric Island Waiheke Trust (EIWT).

The trust says all EV, e-bike, e-scooter and e-motor cycle owners can attend with their vehicles, while family, friends, neighbours and anyone who may be interested are also welcome.

A drone photo is planned at 3pm.

Registration on arrival will establish an email database to enable EIW to communicate with EV owners, along with entry into a prize draw of a battery powered garden blower donated by Stihl Shop, Waiheke.

Register an intention to participate by emailing john.mead@electricisland.co.nz, and to order a free drone photo.
