Everything Electric Sydney 2026: What to Expect at Australia's Biggest EV Show
If you're EV curious and live anywhere near Sydney, next week is worth clearing space in the diary for.

The Debuts Worth Planning Around
A handful of the vehicles confirmed for the show stand out as genuinely newsworthy rather than simply another badge on the floor.
Lepas L6 electric SUV. A new nameplate making its Australian debut, worth a look if you're tracking the growing field of Chinese brands entering the market.
Geely M9. Confirmed for Australia in 2027, this appearance gives Sydney showgoers an early look at a model that won't be on sale locally for some time yet, useful if you're planning a purchase further down the track rather than this year.
Zeekr 8X. A plug-in hybrid SUV addition to the Zeekr range, worth cross-shopping against the brand's existing 7X if you're deciding between a full electric and a PHEV from the same maker.
GWM Cannon Hi4-T PHEV ute. An expansion of GWM's plug-in hybrid ute lineup, relevant if you've been following the Cannon Alpha Hi4-T and want to see how the smaller Cannon variant compares in person.
iCAUR V25. The most genuinely new name on this list. iCAUR hasn't launched in Australia yet, so this is a first public look at the brand's electric offering ahead of a local arrival that hasn't been dated yet.

Why This Show Matters More Than a Regular Motor Show
Everything Electric bills itself as the world's biggest EV specific show, and the format reflects that focus. Unlike a general motor show where EVs sit alongside petrol and diesel vehicles, every vehicle on the floor here is electrified in some form, battery electric, plug-in hybrid or extended range.
For someone genuinely comparing EVs against each other rather than against a petrol equivalent, that concentration of options in one place, combined with actual test drive access rather than static display only, is hard to replicate anywhere else in Australia.
The scale of test drive availability, 7,500 across three days, is also a genuine practical advantage over visiting individual dealerships, where booking a same day test drive across five or six different brands simply isn't realistic.
Should You Go: The Verdict
Go if: you're actively comparing multiple EVs before a purchase decision, you want hands on time with several brands in a single visit, or you're curious about genuinely new entrants like iCAUR that don't yet have an Australian dealership network to visit.
Skip it, or go without high expectations, if: you're hoping to walk away with firm local pricing on every model shown, several debuts here are previews of vehicles still months or years from Australian showrooms.
