E.V. DOES IT AT NEVO RDS SHOW

RELAND'S biggest showcase for electric cars roared back into the RDS Simmonscourt earlier this month, and the crowds loved it.

The Nevo Electric Vehicle Show, in partnership with Bank of Ireland, ran over two packed days, with Business Day on Friday 7 November and Public Day on Saturday 8 November.

More than 21,500 people poured through the doors, with broader displays, more test drives and more metal on show than ever before.

Bank of Ireland returned as title partner and SSE Airtricity again took the role of Exclusive Energy Partner, underlining how batteries, home charging and smart tariffs now sit alongside the cars themselves.

Every car brand selling in Ireland was represented, joined by exhibitors for public and home charging, solar, e-bikes and scooters, smart-home tech and energy services.

Saturday belonged to the public. More than 120 electric cars were spread across 56 stands covering 34 brands.
