Go Electric: Open Day
Ready to electrify everything and cut your living costs?
Whether you're just curious or already committed, lock in Sunday 22 June for the Go Electric Open Day at Club Thirroul—a fun, informative, and inspiring event for households across the Illawarra.
With energy bills soaring and a growing appetite to shrink our carbon footprints, more people than ever are exploring solar, EVs, home batteries, and electric appliances. But let’s face it—there are still a lot of questions around cost, incentives, the latest tech, and when to take the plunge. That’s where this free community event comes in.
We’re bringing together experts, locals, and hands-on experiences to help make electrifying your home and lifestyle easier—and more exciting—than ever.
📍 Go Electric Open Day 9am–2pm | Sunday 22 June | Club Thirroul, Station St, Thirroul
A wide range of EVs will be on display - ask the owners about their experience and advice.
What’s on at Go Electric Open Day:
Hear Dr. Saul Griffith, live in conversation with Claire O’Rourke, as they dive into his new book Plug In: The Electrification Handbook
PLUS:
Explore a range of EVs and chat directly with local EV owners—get honest advice, not a sales pitch
