Brands including Citroen, Fiat, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault, SEAT, Toyota, Lexus, Vauxhall, Volvo, Volkswagen and Mia Electric will participate at the event. The event will see a release of a eco-friendly super car, the unveiling of a new zero-emissions racing vehicle developed by the team behind racing series EVCUP and a showcase of the history of electric vehicles.

The event will also include a test track at the venue allowing even 5-11 and 11-17-year-olds test drive cars. The first version of the event will run from September 8 to 11 at Battersea Power Station in London.

Environment friendly cars are preferred by many but are reluctant to buy due to toe lack of support infrastructure or technologic limitations. The government is working to change that by subsidizing models and facilitating the network of charging points with the help of private enterprises.
