Electric Preston

Residents, businesses and anyone interested in making the switch to electric vehicles are invited to attend Electric Preston, a free electric vehicle (EV) showcase taking place on the city's iconic Flag Market.

Whether you're curious about electric vehicles, considering your next car purchase, or simply want to learn more about greener transport options, Electric Preston will provide practical advice, expert guidance and the opportunity to explore a wide range of vehicles up close. 

The event will feature a range of local automotive businesses, including dealerships such as Chorley Group Go EV, Just Motor Group, Bowker Chery, and CarSupermarket.com.  Also, joining the event will be the East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, where attendees can find out about the latest regional sustainability initiatives and get independent expert guidance on switching to electric driving. 

Visitors can expect to see a variety of electric vehicles from manufacturers including Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, MG, Chery and more, providing an opportunity to compare models and learn about the latest advances in electric vehicle technology. 

Alongside the newest models, visitors will also be able to find out more about the growing market for used electric vehicles and how they can provide an affordable route into EV ownership.  EV Experts will be on hand throughout the day to help bust common myths around electric vehicles, including questions about battery life, charging infrastructure, vehicle range and long-term running costs. 

Throughout the day, local organisations will also be offering advice and information on energy efficiency and renewable energy opportunities. These include Cosy Homes in Lancashire, Low Carbon Chamber, Lancashire County Council and SP Energy Networks.

Community Energy Preston will be attending to showcase its work developing locally owned renewable energy projects in the city.  Learn more about plans to install solar panels at Preston College and discover how to get involved in supporting community-owned clean energy generation.
