The ACT Branch of the Australian Electric Vehicle Association presents this hands-on course for new and prospective EV owners. The course provides a basic introduction to owning, driving and charging an EV. This online session is free to all. The Zoom meeting link will be emailed to you a few days before the workshop.

Course outline

• EV basics: the similarities and differences between EVs and combustion cars
• Charging your EV: for travel around Canberra
• Charging your EV: for distance touring
• The EV driving experience (noise, acceleration, regenerative breaking, charging apps, charging etiquette)

The usual "hands-on charging experience” can't happen online, of course, but we may organise to meet at a charger at another time to see exactly how to fast charge an EV.
