EV Rally Club: International Adventure 2026

Share This Post

“Three weeks, nine country borders, one rally. Join for a stage, a weekend, or the full epic journey.”

We’ve been busy mapping, tweaking, and stretching the route
 and here’s where we’ve landed:

  • 18 days across 5 nations (England, Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland)
  • 35+ checkpoints including every major EV club, heritage stop, and scenic detour we could squeeze in
  • Day 17: London arrival
  • Day 18: London–Brighton EV Rally with Circular EV sponsor tie‑in
  • Days 19–21: Continental extension — three more countries, three more days
 final destination TBD

Yes, it’s ambitious. Yes, it’s a little insane. But it’s also the most inclusive, community‑driven EV rally we’ve ever attempted. 

Entrants don’t need to commit to the full three weeks — they can join for a stage, a weekend, or the whole epic journey.

Why This Matters

  • Irish Isle representation: Every Irish and Northern Irish club gets a dedicated spotlight along the Wild Atlantic Way and Antrim Coast.
  • Welsh spotlight: EVA Cymru and Mid & West Wales EVs anchor the rally’s opening stages.
  • Scottish spotlight: EVA Scotland and Scottish EV Drivers Club lead the Highlands endurance loop.
  • English spotlight: Oxfordshire, Yorkshire, London, and Sussex EVs Clubs showcase the breadth of England’s EV community.
  • Circular EV finale: The London–Brighton EV Rally closes the UK loop with sponsor tie‑in from 2025.
  • Flexibility: 2–3 day stages mean entrants can dip in and out depending on time and budget.

What We Need From You

Before we lock in the marketing pack, we need to know:

  • Are you excited by this scale?
  • Do you see ev drivers, club or EVA members joining for stages or weekends?
  • How do you feel about the European extension being teased now, with destinations revealed later?
