Description

Electrikhana 2025 - Informative talks and workshops all day!

Our annual Electrikhana is taking place on Saturday 14 March 2026, 10am-4pm at the  Canning River Eco-Education Centre (CREEC) Kent Street Weir, Cannington.

This year we will be running our "All About EVs" workshops in the CREEC visitor centre, covering a wide range of topics ranging from what models are available, buying used EVs, economics and impacts of EV policy and the social, health and environmental benefits of electric transport.

Electrikhana is a free event held by the Australian Electric Vehicle Association and supported by the City of Canning, to promote the benefits of electric vehicles (EVs).  Talks and workshops will be held inside the centre, while a range of EVs will be parked outside for the curious.  All are welcome - bring the family and your friends to this highly informative, friendly and free event.

Since 2010, the WA branch of AEVA has hosted Electrikhana - an all-day expo of electric vehicles along with presentations and workshops on how they work, how to charge them, and why electrification of transport is the only pathway to zero emissions. Back when EVs were hard to find, Electrikhana was the only way for the public to test-drive an EV and experience the Grin - the silly smile you get as you accelerate quietly, and briskly. Now that EVs are sold by most dealerships our focus is less about test-driving and more about understanding EVs, how to get the most out of them, and helping the public get comfortable with the switch to electric.
