Promoted as the world’s biggest electrification and renewables fair, the Everything Electric Expo was held at The Dome, Sydney Olympic Park over the first weekend of February. CABCB had a stall there with the assistance of an army of volunteers. Our own Steven Du took part in one of the discussion panels on electric vehicles.
