WELCOME to the AEVA (SA
Branch) This website is devoted to those who are involved in
or interested in electric cars and other electric vehicles
in South Australia and the Northern Territory.
We had
an amazing opportunity to hear from Wiebe Wakker, the man who
left the Netherlands, back in 2016, on a mission to drive his
converted electric car (the Blue Bandit) to Sydney, Australia.
Wiebe has been in Australia, traveling around our beautiful
country, for about 7 months, and he is now in Adelaide.
Wiebe spoke to us
about his EV-escapades around the world.
We
were also honoured to have David Brandenberger
(Dave the Beaver) speaking to us about his journey on his
Solartrike II from Europe to Australia
Unfortunately, we have
to announce that the
"Electrikhana" (Green Drive Day) has been postponed.
It will be held later this year or early next year.
We will announce it here, when we have more information.
Recharge Electric
