David Peilow and Robert Llewellyn are driving London to Edinburgh on Friday and several people, including myself, have expressed interest in doing something similar that shows that it isn't just celebs that can do this kind of trip... it is happening all the time out there!
I have been involved in a number of organised events and if you want to have a decent response then they must be organised quite a time in advance. People have busy lives and it is often difficult to do things even at a few weeks notice.
So with this very much in mind I feel that if we want an organised event this summer, and want a good number of EVs to attend, then it is now we should be putting together a plan and starting to drum up interest.
What could we do to raise the public awareness of EVs nationally whilst at the same time having an event that we all enjoy attending?
There have been a few semi-organised events by members of other forums but they have been specific to that forum. I would like something national and something that is not restricted to just one group of people.
Any ideas?
This will be a difficult nut to crack in my opinion. By definition EVs require charging and so the more EVs we get together the more charging capacity we will need. This will always be a problem for EV events. Even centering the event at an area with several rapid chargers may not be adequate.
Obviously this is early days in this discussion but does anyone has any ideas on the kind of event of on how we can crack the issue of charging?
How many Evs might we reasonably expect to attend as this will determine the scale of the event, charging requirements etc.
