Residents are invited to explore the world of electric vehicles (EVs), electric bikes, solar energy, air source heat pumps and more at a free community event taking place in Oxford this month.
Go Electric Oxford will be held at Seacourt Park & Ride on Saturday 25 July from 10am to 3pm, giving residents the chance to learn more about low-carbon technology, ask questions and access impartial advice about greener ways to travel and reduce energy use at home.
The drop-in event will bring together industry experts, local organisations and experienced EV drivers to share practical information on electric vehicles, home energy improvements and the technologies helping people reduce energy use at home.
A range of electric vehicles will be available to test drive, subject to availability, and visitors will be able to speak directly with owners about their experiences. There will also be opportunities to explore electric bikes, solar energy, air source heat pumps and home energy efficiency measures, with exhibitors on hand throughout the day to answer questions and offer impartial advice.
The event forms part of Oxford City Council's wider work to support residents and businesses to cut carbon emissions and transition to low-carbon transport.
Go Electric Oxford events are open to everyone and are organised in partnership between Oxfordshire County Council and Oxfordshire’s city and district councils, with support from Let’s Experience Electric.

"It’s fantastic to see this free event coming to Oxford and giving residents the chance to try out electric vehicles and other low-carbon technologies. We know many residents are keen to make greener choices but often have questions about cost, practicality and what options would work for them. Whether you're actively considering making a change or simply curious to learn more, I encourage residents to come along."
Councillor Anna Railton, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Planning and a Zero Carbon Oxford at Oxford City Council
