The radio in the car was reflecting on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 on the way to a new location for the Everything Electric show – the Allianz Stadium in Twickenham, West London. The event continued the 2026 model established a few months ago in Harrogate: smaller than those in recent years at the ExCEL London and Farnborough, and outdoors.
Welcoming visitors to the show was the returning 3ti Halo FastHub (formerly known as Papilio3) graced with a number of commercial EVs large and small, including a new Turkish entrant to the last-mile delivery market called Musoshi, with some innovative ground-up cargo EVs. 3ti has been covered several times by Everything Electric.
The Everything Electric Cars focus was evident in the number of EV-friendly manufacturers exhibiting, and we were introduced in particular to BYD, MG (and specifically their IM sub-brand), Polestar, Genesis and Xpeng. Hankook and Big Motoring World were again sponsoring, the latter providing particularly good coffee in their marquee alongside a selection of great value used EVs. For coverage and photos of the cars themselves, see Paul Clarke’s coverage of the Harrogate show in May.
It’s well known that EV drivers are typically more receptive to other electrification technologies, and vice versa. Over the years the Everything Electric Tech channel has grown in significance both online and at the exhibitions. On the home energy front, well known exhibitors included Hive, Good Energy, Heat Geek and Vaillant. Some relatively new entrants to the market included Luthmore with a battery-based boiler to replace gas, and Eleven Energy with sodium ion home battery storage. Along with some other installers and retailers, there were plenty of options for visitors looking for advice or quotes for PV solar panels, home batteries or zero-carbon heating solutions.
As usual there was a packed theatre programme – a single theatre, downsized from the two in previous years, was well attended with moderators and panellists including the Everything Electric presenters, Robert Llewellyn and Helen Czersky, plus Dave Borlace from Just Have A Think and Paul Kirby, the Electric Van Man. Everything Electric’s outgoing CEO, Dan Caesar was doing live reviews of some of the exhibited EVs. Green Car Guide’s Tim Rault-Smith will be on stage at 09:30 on Saturday for a panel entitled “Overwhelmed? Choosing your first new or used Electric Vehicle… and which ones are best?”
During the afternoon, the GreenFleet EV Rally, a showcase for commercial EVs driving from Exeter and stopping at various checkpoints throughout this week, concluded at Everything Electric.
In general the show seemed well attended, with steady footfall throughout the day and food stall queues reassuringly long at lunchtime. Dates and locations for 2027 haven’t yet been announced, but the next Everything Electric show is next weekend in Sydney – so some of the team are hot-footing it to Heathrow at the end of Day 2 to get there in time. The Sydney show will be the largest ever in the southern hemisphere – apparently much more like the London ExCEL events in 2024 and 2025.
