Consider the switch to EV

Totally Renewable Phillip Island (TRPI) is hosting a free EV owners panel session on Saturday May 2 from 10am at the Phillip Island RSL.

The relaxed Q&A format will enable locals to ask real EV owners anything they want to know before considering the switch to an electric vehicle.

If you've been curious about electric vehicles but aren't sure where to start, this is the event for you.

Rather than a sales pitch or a formal presentation, the session brings together a panel of real local EV owners covering a range of makes, models and budgets, who are happy to answer the questions you actually want to ask.

"We know people have questions about EVs - running costs, charging at home, range anxiety - and the best people to answer those questions are locals who are already driving one," said Simon Helps, Chair, Totally Renewable Phillip Island.

"This is a relaxed, friendly session where anyone can come along and get honest answers."

The session kicks off at 10am with a few warm-up questions to get the conversation going, before opening to the floor for an open Q&A.

After the session wraps at 12.30pm, attendees are welcome to head outside and look at the EVs up close - a rare chance to see a range of models side by side - before the option of staying for lunch.

This is the first in a series of three free community energy sessions TRPI is delivering in 2026, designed to help Phillip Island residents understand their options and take practical steps towards reducing household energy costs.

TRPI thanks the Phillip Island RSL for hosting the event and supporting the local community.

Event details: Saturday May 2, 10am - 12.30pm, ANZAC Room, Phillip Island RSL.
