The Motability Scheme’s free Big Event makes pit stop in Exeter for two-day motoring show
The Motability Scheme is returning to Westpoint in Exeter, and this time for a two-day motoring show on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 June 2024.
With a new focus on electric motoring, The Big Event, Exeter gives visitors a chance to see a range of electric vehicles, speak to manufacturers and Scheme experts and try out the latest accessible innovations.
The automotive industry is changing and Motability Operations, the company behind the Motability Scheme, is committed to educating its customers about the switch to electric. The Scheme has already helped to change the lives of over 12,000 customers in Devon, providing them with access to a vehicle, scooter or powered wheelchair, and the organisation wants to ensure that customers are not left behind as the country transitions to electric vehicles (EVs).
To equip customers with as much knowledge, information and choice as possible, the event will feature a dedicated EV Information Hub where Scheme experts will answer customer questions, demonstrate products and discuss the benefits of switching to an EV.
Visitors can also look forward to test driving a range of vehicles, including EVs and vehicles fitted with the most popular driving adaptations available on the Scheme. Alongside Scheme cars, the event features an indoor scooter test drive area for customers to try out different products in a safe space.
Katie Clare, The Big Event Manager, said: “We’re excited to return to Westpoint this summer to host the Big Event. For the first time we’ll be there for two days, meaning we can welcome even more visitors through the doors!
“As we all prepare for the changes in the motoring industry, we’re giving the Big Event an electric focus, so visitors can find out everything they need to know about going electric and have the chance to try out an EV for themselves.”
Doors for The Big Event open from 9am until 4pm with no need for visitors to pre-book tickets, and free accessible parking available on site.
The show follows the success of The Big Event in Birmingham in May, where exhibitors included Rehasense and TGA Mobility.
