Everything Electric Sydney is back at Sydney Showground from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 September. More than 100 electric vehicles will be parked in a hall waiting to be driven. No dealership, and no follow-up phone call at dinner time.
Tickets are on sale now at the official Everything Electric site. A 3-day pass starts at $60, a weekend pass at $50, and a single day on the Friday or Saturday at $40. Sunday is half price at $20. Doors open at 10am every day, closing at 5pm on Friday and Saturday, and 4pm on Sunday.
Organisers expect more than 40,000 people through the gates over the 3 days. The 2025 Sydney and Melbourne shows drew more than 50,000 between them, a hopeful sign that the shift in energy is gaining pace. Organisers are billing Everything Electric Sydney as the biggest EV show ever held in the Southern Hemisphere, and more participants are being added as the opening approaches.

The show comes from the team behind Fully Charged, the British YouTube channel founded by actor and presenter Robert Llewellyn. It started as Fully Charged LIVE in 2018, took the Everything Electric name in 2024, and now runs events in the UK, Australia, and Canada. Media preview is the Friday, which is when the new-model announcements are made.
The Test Drive Hall Is the Reason to Go
More than 100 EVs will be available to drive a short pre-organised circuit. There are expected to be more than 7,500 test drives across the weekend, around 2,500 a day. The hall covers cars, vans, trucks, motorcycles, e-bikes, commercial vehicles, and boats, so wear shoes you can walk in.
Electric motorbikes and scooters are on the test drive list too, licence permitting. There’s also a Micro Mobility Test Track for e-bikes, scooters, and skateboards. The value in the test drive hall at Everything Electric Sydney is driving a handful of cars back to back in one afternoon, same conditions, same right foot.
What the Brand List Gives Away
The exhibitor list reads BYD, Cadillac, Chery, Farizon, Forthing, Genesis, Geely, GAC, GWM, Hyundai, Icaur, IM, Lepas, MG, Omoda Jaecoo, Polestar, Subaru, Weichai, and Zeekr.
iCAUR hasn’t sold a car here yet, but the V25 range-extender is due in 2027. GWM comes off the back of 250,000 Australian sales. GAC is a badge most shoppers can’t yet place, though we’ve already reviewed the Aion UT at $31,990. A number of new launches are promised for the show and nobody will say which, so expect live reports on our GayCarBoys youtube channel.
The Half of Everything Electric Sydney Car People Ignore
The Home Energy section is the other half of the headline ticket. Most readers who come for the cars won’t know it’s there. Ausgrid, Origin Energy, Amber Electric, and Schneider Electric are exhibiting, alongside companies selling solar, batteries, smart meters, chargers, and insulation. Free one-on-one consultations are on offer, covering solar, storage, smart meters, and how to stop the quarterly bill from ruining your life.
More than 40 live sessions run across 2 stages over the 3 days. Among them, “The Home Energy Secrets the Experts Don’t Tell You”, “Can EVs Go the Distance? Goodbye Range Anxiety?”, and one on V2G and powering the house off the car. Session titles are written to fill seats, so keep a hand on your wallet. The V2G talk is the one worth the walk if you’ve been trying to work out whether your car can back-feed anything at all.
Australia bought 127,244 battery electric vehicles to the end of July, 17.3% of the total market. That already beats the 103,269 BEVs sold across the whole of 2025, with 5 months still on the clock. The Australian Automobile Association puts the national EV fleet at around 650,000. Both sales counts come from the FCAI, a car industry lobby group.
Dan Caesar, global CEO of Everything Electric, says more than 500,000 home batteries were installed in the past year. Electrification, he reckons, “can deliver significant savings on household energy and transport costs”. The battery figure shows households worked out the sums well before the car makers.
The Sunday ticket is value at $20. You get the same hall and the same cars, just 6 hours of it rather than 7. Everything Electric Sydney is the one weekend of the year you can drive most of the new-car market without handing anyone your phone number.
