Hosted in England for 2026 â rotating across the five nations each year
Buckle up, because June 2026 isnât just another summer â itâs the launch of something epic.
In partnership with the EV Rally Club, and proudly spotlighting the Irish Electric Vehicle Association, Electric Vehicle Association Northern Ireland, EVA Scotland, EVA Cymru, and EVA England, the EV Groups Nexus will host our first ever Grand EV Invitational.
The 2026 event will be held in England. From 2027 onward, the Invitational will rotate between the five nations, ensuring each country has its turn to be seen, explored, and enjoyed by our club members. England will not host consecutively â the spotlight will move each year.
This isnât a corporate expo. This is a communityâpowered festival of electric driving â clubs, EVAs, and drivers from all five nations coming together to show what grassroots really looks like when itâs amplified.
- Flagship kit on tour:Â The Nexus Resource Centre + V2L Demo Showcase deployed as roaming assets, powering coffee machines, screens, and sticker presses.
- Purpose:Â Celebrate the strength of local clubs working handâinâhand with their national EVAs.
- Impact:Â A visible, inclusive calendar event that cements the Nexus as the hub of EV community collaboration.
- Message:Â âFive countries, one movement â stronger together.â
- Trail: And yes, weâll be doing it on the Great BIG Electric Trail of EVents 2026 â because whatâs the point of building a trail if you donât invite everyone to walk it together?
And the Journey ContinuesâŠ
The EV Rally Club: London to Amsterdam EV Rally 2025 saw us drive inside a train, then on to Brugge, Brussels, Amsterdam, Holland and even the most sustainable onion farm in Europe (yes, also a charging hub!).
So where will the adventure take us in 2026? The EV Rally Club is gearing up for the UK + European Adventure 2026 â taking the Great BIG Electric Trail beyond the five nations and onto the mainland.
Stay tuned⊠because the Trail doesnât stop at the shoreline.
