Event Report

It was a great day in Whangarei, perfect sunny Spring day. The Growers Market was very busy, Robert the manager of the Market estimated the turnout to be between 2,500 to 3,000 people total. Robert put our stall right up front so we had great exposure, most people had to walk by our stall to access the market.

We had, 9 Electric Cars, we completed 5 Test Drives, secured 3 LEAF rentals with Blue Cars (NZ 1st 100% Electric Rental Car Company) and 12 volunteers. We had approximately 200 people pass thru our stall to talk, pickup hand-outs and just have a nosy. I have also given 2 additional test drives this week after work from people we met at the Market.

After the market we drove to Ureiti Beach, great Kitesurfing beach and then on to Waipu Cove for lunch. Overall a stunning day weather wise and the Electric Car movement is growing momentum in the Southern Hemisphere
