The ACT Branch of the Australian Electric Vehicle Association presents this hands-on course for new and prospective EV owners. The course provides a basic introduction to owning, driving and charging an EV. AEVA members can attend an All About EVs workshop for free (select the free ticket option).

Course outline

• EV basics: the similarities and differences between EVs and combustion cars
• Charging your EV: for travel around Canberra
• Charging your EV: for distance touring
• The EV driving experience (noise, acceleration, regenerative breaking, charging apps, charging etiquette)

At the end of the course please join us for an optional "hands-on charging experience” in the local area to see exactly how to fast charge an EV.
