Mobility Live was at the International Convention Centre in Darling Harbour, Sydney. It was co-located with Highways AU. Dates were 15 - 16 October 2025. See: https://www.terrapinn.com/exhibition/mobility-live/index.stm for info on next year.
EVs range from two and 3 wheelers to a quadracycle to use on a campus, to a hatchback to pick up a handful of mail, to a 7 seater for tourism, to big vans and semi-trailers, to a haul truck moving hundreds of tonnes of ore. EVs have many places in business, as well as leisure.
Geely with two Farizon vans, including a rather nice camper fit-out, with grid independent electric cooking capability; and XPENG with SUVs were the primary car marques there.

| Venues often charge exhibitors to provide power, so why not use V2L - Vehicle to Load? In this case it uses an adaptor in the inlet, rather than a regular outlet inside the vehicle. Note that this is under control of the vehicle's electronics, so the EVSE does not form a dangerous connection, or "death-daptor", as Big Clive calls dangerous connectors. |  |

RXI presented their fit-out of a BYD Shark pick-up / ute with tool storage, etc. The MTA had a BYD Hybrid and boards which mimics the complex electrical system of a hybrid for students. One of the Korean car makers also had a couple of cars.
The show included chargers and accessories, include solutions for fleet operators, and bodies corporate of residential buildings, or owners of other parking.
 | This water resistant power outlet allows many ordinary plugs to be plugged into it (except maybe PDL 940s). The QR code allows the punter to pay for charging. This one is includes a 15 amp outlet, which also accepts 10 amp plugs. They term this an Intelligent Power Switch: NOX IPS They also sell an EVSE, also termed an AC charger: NOX EVSE |
 | goEV showed their SINEXCEL DC chargers. The green things at the bottom are "merch", in the form of free "goEV" socks. "Sine" refers to the correct shape of the mains waveform. |
EXEL-Tech had their XT-Alpha Off Grid AC and DC EV charger, which contains a large battery. It can also output single phase and industrial 3-phase power. Inputs include solar and other power sources.
EV Stays has a system which allows EV drivers to book both accomodation and a charger, rather than hoping one is available. There is a non-charging options which allows booking for those using rail, etc. The traveller facing site is: https://www.evstays.co/, the provider facing one: https://www.evstays.com.au/. For some reason when I tried to book a non-charging stay at short notice I had the payment returned, adn the 'phone contact didn't work.
The event included quite a number of speakers in a small area within the hall. Rather than using loudspeakers audience members wore "Silent Sounds" wireless headphones, colour-coded to the section, red or green..
The NSW government team responsible for funding the expansion of rapid EV charging into under-served areas was also there.
Their website sites include: Transport: Current and under construction charging locations, although mapping is imperfect - you may have to locate the named location a hundred metres along the road from the pin;
with state funded chargers shown on Energy: Electric vehicle fast charging stations. and their EV Strategy.
Material from the Highways AU show (which may be a load of new bollards, or at least one).
Companies includes portable electronic road sign companies, a sign maker, W-rail and other barrier suppliers, Tyro payments, AQUA Patch Asphalt, drainage suppliers, and the Master Electricians' association.
 | MOMO Solar have a range of bollards, and portable lighting. Momo Solar Bollard |
Companies at these shows often give away things such as pens, notepads, baseball caps, bottle openers, and recently, socks.
The next event is 14-15 October 2026 at ICC in Darling Harbour, likely on the lower level. That hall is in what appears as a basement level, as you descent escalators to get to it, but is never-the-less above the carpark level.
Register for free at any of: MOVE Australia, EV Charge Live AU, or Roads & Traffic AU. It is close to the L1 Light Rail line (Exhibition Centre or Convention stops).
Terrapinn run events globally, including in the transport, energy, governance, medicine, and education areas: https://www.terrapinn.com/
18 & 19 March 2026 at BCEC in South Brisbane is Solar and Storage AU - although the Queensland LNP government has proven themselves to be "Sovereign Risk" to clean energy protects of late.
