"Our show presents brand new EVs ranging in price from £15,000 to luxury models with price tags to match.

"It is the perfect opportunity to browse what might be your next car. But the show is much more than just cars, with the Island's best renewable installers exhibiting alongside a variety of non-profit organisations working in the low-carbon and energy-saving sectors.

Whether you want an e-bike, an EV, a solar panel or energy saving advice the Going Electric show is the place to find it all."
