For those who have an interest in renewable energy and electric vehicles, The Fully Charged SHOW will be familiar, with the popular YouTube channel approaching 1M subscribers and has charged to 163 Million views since starting back in April 2010.
The UK-based show is heading to Australia and will is scheduled for March 11th and 12th this year, at the Sydney International Convention & Exhibition Centre.
The 2-day event will feature the founder of Fully Charged – Robert Llewellyn (Scrapheap Challenge, Red Dwarf) and feature a great line-up of YouTubers, experts, attractions and companies. One company worth noting is NRMA who are also sponsoring the event. NRMA has installed a number of fast chargers in Australia so that relationship is certainly a good fit.
Electric Vehicles of all shapes and sizes will be on display – many of which will be part of the test drive programme – as the organisers endeavour to attract ‘almost’ every EV available.

As well as Robert Llewellyn, Fully Charged’s East Asia correspondent Elliot Richards, with his encyclopaedic knowledge of Chinese cars, will be hosting on stage too.
Joining them will be several Australian YouTubers including Simone Annan from CarTell TV, Sam Evans the ‘Electric Viking’ and Rosemary Barnes from ‘Engineering with Rosie’.
The Fully Charged LIVE team will host more than 40 ‘live sessions’ over the 2 days on topics such as ‘can Australia become a clean energy superpower?’
While the hosts have been appointed and the session titles have now been published, the organisers are still searching for expert panellists to finalise the Australian line-up.
The Fully Charged SHOW YouTube production team is also in the process of scouring the country for interesting clean energy and electric vehicle content. Robert Llewellyn is already on the ground in Australia and will be filming a combination of around 15 episodes and podcasts from Down Under in the coming weeks. These episodes are the core elements of the promotional campaign to draw attention to Fully Charged LIVE Australia amongst its audience, and members of the public.
It is expected that around 10,000-15,000 attendees will descend on Darling Harbour on the weekend of March 11th and 12th on what is expected to be an annual event in the Australian calendar.
