September 11, 2023 - (Vancouver, BC) The organizers of Fully Charged LIVE Canada have announced that due to the overwhelmingly positive response to this year’s inaugural event, they will be returning in 2024 for Fully Charged LIVE Canada-Two.
Multi award-winning Fully Charged LIVE made its Canadian debut at the Vancouver Convention Centre September 8-10. While final attendance figures have not yet been tabulated, the numbers are believed to be strong, with event goers sharing a common desire and commitment to decarbonization.
Fully Charged Founder Robert Llewellyn says the decision to make a return to Vancouver is a no-brainer.
“You can never be sure about the level of interest for an inaugural event, but we have been absolutely taken aback and overwhelmed by the warm welcome of British Columbians and Canadians, and a venue that is second to none.”
“Year-one provided a solid foundation to build on and as shows typically double in size for year two we can promise 2024 will be even bigger and better,” continued Llewellyn. “Expect more test drives, more home energy exhibits, more electric car launches and a theater program which will cover all the latest topics and issues.”
Some of the ‘Must See’ highlights of Fully Charged LIVE Canada 2023, included:
1. Many of the world’s top auto manufacturers including- Genesis, BMW, Porsche, Rivian, Polestar, Volvo, Ford, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, KIA, Subaru, Nissan, and Vinfast showcasing their latest advancements in electric vehicle technology.

4. The Fully Charged LIVE Canada Test Drive area that included over 40 vehicles for attendees to get behind the wheel of an electric vehicle and try it out for themselves – the biggest EVER number of EVs for a test drive component in British Columbia.
