EUROPA

THE EVENT...IN SHORT!

The 2024 UK AtoZ EV Rally was the ultimate test of vehicle capability and the public charging infrastructure, while showcasing innovative solutions and examples of clean energy.

At more than 1500 all-electric miles, it was the biggest Rally to date, coupled with the fact that we had more Teams participating than ever before, and more vehicles driving every day than we have ever had.

Now, we want to go across to the continent and see what can be learned. We want to experience e-mobility in different countries, network with like-minded professionals, exchange thoughts and ideas, and bring back our findings to help try and push the narrative forward in the UK.

We will begin in France, near Calais, and head through the north of France, into Belgium. Along the way, we hope to visit charging hubs and clean energy projects, stopping in Brussells and Antwerp.

Across the border, in the Netherlands, we will visit Eindhoven and possibly push north to Amsterdam, before an overnight stop. Alternatively, we will head east, over the border into Germany and go via Essen and finish in Dortmund. But not before calling in at hubs, including the one located near the Kamener Kreuz highway interchange, Germany’s busiest traffic interchange. This hub boasts 52 fast charging points, each with a capacity of up to 300 kW.

We will then spend day 2 in Germany, before finishing in Luxembourg, where we energise, overnight, before the final day, heading north-west, through France, and back to where it all began 72hrs before!

5 countries… 3 days… More than 1600 all-electric kilometres! It’s going to be truly unbeliEVable!
