Nevo, the driving force behind Ireland's electric vehicle revolution, is set to host Ireland’s first-ever electric vehicle show, in partnership with Bank of Ireland, on Saturday, February 17th in the RDS Dublin. The show has seen phenomenal demand and is a sell-out, with 20,000 registered ticket holders set to attend.
Those in attendance will be treated to the latest electric offerings from the nation’s leading automotive brands including BMW, BYD, Citroen, DS Automobiles, Fiat, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, MAXUS, Mercedes-Benz Commercials, MG, Mitsubishi Fuso, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Polestar, Porsche, Renault, Skoda, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo among others. Ticket holders will also have the opportunity to attend electrifying car launches from popular brands. On the day, Opel are set to launch their Astra Electric, MG are to reveal their highly anticipated Cyberster, and Peugeot are taking the opportunity to unveil both their E-208 and E-308. The show will be the first to public event display for the all-new Tesla Model 3.
Attendees can speak to industry experts across finance, insurance, home and public charging, alternative e-mobility solutions, as well as listen to discussions from panels of key impact makers in the EV industry throughout the day. As a leading event partner, Bank of Ireland recognises the importance of supporting initiatives contributing to a sustainable future.
Derek McDermott, Managing Director of Bank of Ireland Finance, commented on their involvement, stating, "Bank of Ireland is excited to be at the forefront of Ireland's electric vehicle movement as it joins forces with Nevo for their upcoming Electric Vehicle Show. We have established ourselves as the market leader in providing funding for customers looking to go electric with partnerships across twenty-two brands. This exciting event will allow the Irish public to get up close and personal with electric vehicles from these brands”.
Derek Reilly, General Manager at Nevo expressed his enthusiasm for what promises to be a standout event.
"We’re positioning Nevo to be the number one go-to in the market when it comes to EVs. The Nevo Electric Vehicle Show is more than just an exhibition; it's a celebration of Ireland's commitment to sustainable transportation. We are proud to partner with Bank of Ireland to create an event that showcases leading automotive brands and provides attendees with a platform to explore everything you need to go electric, from insurance, finance, e-mobility and much more".
Head of growth for Nevo, Simon Andreucetti commented that the show will be about meeting the demands of two distinct groups of Irish consumers.
“Fifty per cent of the people we surveyed about visiting the show said that they were keen to see all the vehicles in one place, keen to understand the finance offerings, to understand the cost of the vehicles not just as new cars but over their lifetime” said Andreucetti. “The other 50 per cent said that they want to know more about the whole eco-system, such as charging at home, using solar power for charging, but they’re also looking at the infrastructure and asking whether this is the right time to buy an electric vehicle.”
In collaboration with AXA Ireland and supported by ZEVI (Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland), the Nevo Electric Vehicle Show promises a comprehensive showcase of all things electric, empowering attendees with all they need to make the switch to electric.
