AEVA is at AGFEST in the Cloud 2020
Go Wild, Go Electric!
Electric cars are not just for cities, they can go to wild places too.
View a snapshot of the 2017 Cradle Mountain Charge - where 25 electric vehicles drove in convoy from Devonport, via Sheffield to Cradle Mountain.
Click here to watch the Go Wild, Go Electric video.
This was an 80km drive on rural roads by an assortment of EVs included commercial models (both full electric and hybrids), some home conversion models, a van and an e-bike.
So, if you're wondering where your next holiday could be, remember its possible to visit the wild places of Tasmania in quiet enjoyment (literally) in an electric vehicle.
