Go Electric: Witney!

Register for your FREE ticket now!

Join us for Go Electric: Witney, a free, drop-in event for residents, and businesses who want to find out more about electric vehicles (EVs), charging, and the practical realities of making the switch.

Whether you’re simply curious, comparing options, or already thinking about your next vehicle, this is a friendly and informal chance to explore what electric transport could mean for you.

The event brings together EV providers, charging specialists and local partners to answer questions, share advice, and showcase a range of electric cars and mobility options. You’ll also be able to speak to people with first-hand experience of driving an EV, and find out more about finance options, charging, and what to consider when switching to electric.

Some exhibitors may offer test drives on the day (subject to eligibility and availability).

The event takes place at Woolgate Shopping Centre car park. Please note parking at the site is free but availability may be limited while the event is taking place. The car park is also located close to several bus routes and within walking and cycling distance of many residential areas in Witney.

What to expect:

• A range of EVs and mobility options on display, including electric bikes (e –bikes)

• Local experts available to answer questions on charging, costs, and ownership

• Practical advice and information (no pressure to buy)

• Opportunities to hear from people who already drive electric

• Potential test drive opportunities (subject to eligibility and availability)

• A relaxed, welcoming community event you can explore at your own pace
