Made famous in the 1980’s with Eddie Grant’s catchy reggae fusion tune, Electric Avenue, EcoVelocity, has created a feature inspired by the song for four days only at Battersea Power Station in September.
EcoVelocity’s version of ‘Electric Avenue’ will feature some of the world’s most talked about, quirky electric cars from their introduction through to present day including the 49cc Peel Car with an HP of 3.35, the Sinclair C5, widely ridiculed on its launch in 1985 and Brahms Electric Hearse, to be launched in September.
Electric Avenue will also include Econogo, a company which produces electric scooters and the world’s first and only removable Lithium battery; EEEMS Accelerate, a Government scheme looking at the potential of electric cars; Green Power, electric car races for schools and inspiring young people to become engineers and Zerocars, who will be exhibiting the Little Electric Cars at the show, which have a 60-mile range on a single overnight charge and a maximum speed of 30mph.
EcoVelocity show director, Giles Brown, said: “I’m very excited by Electric Avenue. We have some fun and interesting cars and scooters on show but again the educational element is there, showing how the technology and the vehicles themselves have evolved.”
EcoVelocity will run from September 8-11th at the Battersea Power Station and will also feature the latest green models, including electric, hybrid and low CO2-emitting cars, as well as providing test drives on a specially-constructed circuit in the shadow of the famous power station.
Market leading brands attending the event include Citroen, Fiat, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault, SEAT, Vauxhall, Volvo, Toyota, Lexus and Mia Electric.
Event partners include What Car?, TfL, The Mayor of London, Smooth Radio, Source London, Get On and Green Fleet.
EcoVelocity is being planned by IMIE, organisers of the British Motor Show and Metro newspaper.
