Gloucestershire residents and businesses can get all the latest tips for going green at home and on the road this June 2026, when electric vehicle and home energy brand, Everything Electric, brings its 'festival of electrification' to the South West for the very first time.

Described as one of the world's premier shows of its kind, Everything Electric WEST at The Centaur at Cheltenham Racecourse will be packed with displays, experiences and guest speakers, giving visitors chance to see the latest EVs and home energy tech first-hand and chat to experts about the best solutions for them.

The show, taking place on Friday 12 and Saturday 13 June 2026, features the biggest EV test drive experience in the UK, with ticket holders able to test drive hundreds of vehicles from leading brands like Tesla and BYD, along with up-and-comers, without the pressure to buy.

Attendees will also be able to explore the latest in home energy technology, including solar, battery storage and heat pumps, with expert advice available on reducing both energy bills and carbon emissions. 

There will also be a live theatre programme featuring talks from leading voices discussing EVs, clean energy, sustainable living and emerging technologies such as AI and robotics, with well-known guests including Robert Llewellyn of Red Dwarf and Scrapheap Challenge; BBC science presenter Helen Czerski; and Dave Borlace of popular YouTube channel, Just Have a Think.

And, in response to increasing interest in salary sacrifice schemes and fleet transition for businesses, there's also a B2B EV Day on Friday 12 June 2026 alongside the consumer show, where visitors can take advantage of business-focussed theatre sessions, insights into financial savings and priority test drives, along with entry to the main show.

Organisers say the show is a great day out for families, too, with attractions for all ages including test rides on electric bikes, scooters, and skateboards, and with 'entertaining and educational' activities for children.

Formerly the Fully Charged Show, Everything Electric is known for its popular YouTube channel, podcast and EV and energy festivals in the UK and around the world, through which it has educated tens of millions on the benefits of EVs of all shapes and sizes, along with adjacent energy technologies.

The brand has partnered with Cheltenham Zero, Cheltenham Borough Council's initiative to help businesses and organisations to reach net zero, to deliver the B2B EV Day.

Admission to the show starts at £10, with children under 15 going free. To book tickets, head to tickets.lupevents.co.uk/everything-electric-west, or to register for a free B2B EV Day ticket, visit tickets.lupevents.co.uk/everything-electric-west/business.
