Great BIG Electric Trail: England | Wales | Ireland | Northern Ireland | Scotland | Europe 2027

Sunday May 23, 2027 from 9:00 am until Sunday July 4, 2027 from 4:00 pm
We are in the initial planing stages for the Great BIG Electric Trail: England | Wales | Ireland | Northern Ireland | Scotland | Europe 2027, which please note, will overall be a not-for-profit event.
Dates & times as such will be subject to change in order to fit in with the London to Brighton Electric Vehicle Rally 2027, the GreenFleet EV Rallies based in the UK for 2026 (hopefully, fingers crossed) & of course the next destination for EV Rally Club – London to <Insert European Country here> EV Rally 2027!! We are also hoping that we can work with the excellent GreenFleet team to coordinate the dates and stages of their commercial / fleet Europa EV Rally ’27 so we can join up with them and tag along, making their events even larger, with a wider audience of the EV Driving public as well as Fleet Managers and Industry Leaders.
It’s going to be an epic challenge, and we reckon with all the combined EV community support from the EV Rallies, EV industry, EV podcasters, our Local, National & make/model EV Clubs + the EV Groups Nexus, and great sponsors, we know it can be accomplished and made into an affordable event for all.

All of our Local, National, and Model/Make EV Cubs will be able to participate in as small or large of a way as they can or would like to! Every Electric Vehicle Association, in every country we visit in the United Kingdom & Europe will be included in the events and we will help to promote membership in those EVAs all along the way. In case you don’t know about your regional Electric Vehicle Association, here’s the list, in order of our EV Road Trip 2026 – please consider joining today. If you are a member of a Local EV Club, affiliated already with the EV Groups Nexus, ask your local Admin for a discount code to join, or contact us at the EV Groups Nexus to request one.

What on earth are we trying to accomplish on this massive EV Road Trip for 2027?
Well not only are we aiming to create an event that brings together all the amazing EV events and organisers from both the commercial and non-profit events, including all of the EV Rallies here in the UK, as well as Europe, but we want to make sure that the everyday EV Driver feels as welcome, and this event is affordable for any who want to join in.
There will be segments all across every country, so those who can’t join for a long EV Road Trip & family friendly holiday, will be able to join for as long as a short of a time as they would like & are able.
One of the things our team noticed while representing the EV Groups Nexus on the amazing London to Amsterdam EV Rally 2025 with the EV Rally Club (non-profit) was simply that there just wasn’t enough time to see a lot of sights on the Rally. Totally understand that many folks cannot take time off for an event that is longer than 2-5 days maximum. So we had a chat with Tom & John and some others on the Rally and came up with the idea that why not create another event to tie in with the Rally, but make it a family friendly holiday as well?

So that’s what we are going to do! We will stop at not only the seaside every chance we get, but also places like Thorpe Park, Zoos, Safari Parks, National Trust & the Royal Horticultural Society Sites, we will have camping + hotel discounts, and we will co-ordinate not only family friendly activities to keep young families entertained along the way, but also for the adults that aren’t interested in those – we will have adult activities planned as well such as sight seeing, wine tasting, pub crawls across scenic and landmark areas and so on.

We as organisers are really open to hearing your ideas, so please, if you have one – pop it our way via our Facebook Page | Great BIG Electric Trail, or contact page on our new website (coming very soon to GreatBigElectricTrail.org) and we promise to discuss it with the team and reply to you asap. Oh and if you’d like to join the team, we are definitely looking for Volunteers for, well everything!

Stay tuned for more details and polls coming soon asking YOU for the best EV venues, local attractions, photo spots, day trips, family friendly places to go, must see attractions, the best beaches to visit, great EV industry businesses to ask to host a venue, and more along the way!
