With energy bills soaring and the movement toward healthier, low carbon living gathering pace, the time to electrify your lifestyle is now. Whether you're already on the electric journey or curious about how to get started, mark your calendar for Go Electric Open Day—a free, family-friendly event on Sunday 22 June from 9am to 2pm at Club Thirroul.
This community event is open to everyone in the Illawarra and brings together industry experts, passionate locals, and hands-on experiences to demystify the world of household electrification. From EVs and home batteries to induction cooking and electric heating, it’s your chance to learn how to save money and reduce your carbon footprint—with advice you can trust.
Don’t miss the highlight – a special live conversation between Dr Saul Griffith and Sarah Aubrey of Electrify This to launch Dr Griffith’s new book Plug In!: The Electrification Handbook. Stick around for the book signing afterward.
Enjoy a packed schedule of expert panels and practical demos throughout the day. Hear the latest on the Electrify 2515 Community Pilot, dive deep into the latest home battery tech, and explore EV options—including costs, novated leases, and vehicle-to-grid innovation.
You’ll also get to:
- Chat with real EV owners (no sales pitch—just honest advice)
- Watch a live cooking demo using an induction stove with the team from Moore St General café
- Test ride e-bikes
