Record-Breaking Everything Electric demonstrates growing demand for EVs, and cheaper, better electric technologies

Everything Electric FARNBOROUGH saw the single biggest attendance day, Saturday 11th October, at any of the 21 Everything Electric shows worldwide. As the first 2-day show in the UK, the event attracted as many attendees as the 3-day show one year earlier. Over the weekend, 25,703 attendees descended on Farnborough International for electric test drives, tonnes of tech and expert talks.

On display were over 100 models of EVs, with several making their public debut, including the Jaecoo E5, Geely EX5, BYD Atto 2, Leap TO3, Mazda 6e, plus the Nissan Micra and updated Nissan Leaf. Visitors were also able to test drive multiple brands and models, with over 3,800 test drives delivered across the weekend and first public test drives available of the MG IM5, MG IM6, Geely EX5 and Changan SO7.

The government’s announcement this year of the Electric Car Grant, alongside the growing number of more affordable EVs now coming to market, saw a reinvigorated buzz around electric cars at the event, with a ready-to-buy audience packing out each sand and booking up all available test drives.

In addition, there were 45 sessions with expert panellists across the weekend in the Giga and Home Energy theatres covering a huge range of topics, as well as 10 live EV reviews on various car stands, which drew record crowds.

Show attendance was boosted by a new B2B EV Day on the Friday before the event opened, and the live filming of the Zapheap race finales on the Saturday and Sunday.

The B2B EV Day attracted over 500 professionals who attended a packed schedule of sessions with industry experts, as well as accessing close to 900 test drives, and hundreds attended the filming of Zapheap over the weekend.

Everything Electric global events will return in 2026 with 3 UK dates and venues to be announced imminently.
