Electricarna is a grass-roots gathering of electric car drivers, technology enthusiasts and gadgeteers with this 2025 show offering a diverse collection of unusual offerings.
There was no shortage of electric car conversions, in which three different cars had their combustion engines and fuel tanks removed and replaced with electric motors and batteries. There was also a wide selection of late model EVs at the event, from Kias to Teslas to BYDs, brought along by their respective owners, but it was the Tesla Cybertruck and a converted to right-hand-drive Ford F150 Lightning which attracted the largest crowds.
Join Gav in the video above as he picks out some personal highlights from the show, including a Vehicle to Load (V2L) adapter for Tesla cars which can power appliances – ideal for power cuts or going camping.
