Perth Electrikhana 2025
The Perth Electrikhana is on again at the Canning River Eco-Education Centre (CREEC) Kent Street Weir, Cannington.
Since 2010, the WA branch of AEVA has hosted Electrikhana - an all-day expo of electric vehicles along with presentations and workshops on how they work, how to charge them, and why electrification of transport is the only pathway to zero emissions. Back when EVs were hard to find, Electrikhana was the only way for the public to test-drive an EV and experience the Grin - the silly smile you get as you accelerate quietly, and briskly. Now that EVs are sold by most dealerships our focus is less about test-driving and more about understanding EVs, how to get the most out of them, and helping the public get comfortable with the switch to electric.

This year we will selection of electric cars, caravans, motorcycles, e-bikes and scooters on display. We will be running our "All About EVs" workshops in the CREEC visitor centre, covering a wide range of topics ranging from what models are available, buying used EVs, economics and impacts of EV policy and the social, health and environmental benefits of electric transport.
Vehicles will on display out the front as you enter the building.
