Earlier this month, we had the pleasure of attending Everything Electric 2025 in London — a three-day celebration of electric vehicles, clean energy tech, and smart home innovation. The event brought together top car brands, forward-thinking experts, and hands-on experiences designed to educate and inspire. Whether you’re an EV veteran or just curious about making the switch, there was something for everyone.
Check out our highlight video:
Here’s a look at some of the standout moments and key takeaways from the show.
A Showcase of Electric Innovation – Cars on Display
From established names to up-and-coming challengers, the EV scene was in full force. Brands like MG, Tesla, Ford, Renault, Volvo, Hyundai, BYD, Omoda, and Changan all had cars on display — and they weren’t holding back.
Crowd favourites included:
- 🖌️ Tattooed Omoda 5 – a custom take on the stylish compact SUV
- 🚀 Tesla Cybertruck – every bit as bold and angular as you’d expect
- ⚡ Lotus Eletre – sporty, premium, and 100% electric
- 🕶️ MG Cyberster – a sleek electric roadster with concept-car cool
- 🐅 BYD Sealion 7 – top-tier SUV with tech to match
- 🌞 Custom Convertible Tesla Model 3 – a fan-favourite twist on a modern EV
- 🏔️ Hyundai Ioniq 9 – the all-new, super-sized electric SUV with bags of space and presence
With such variety, it was clear that electric isn’t just the future — it’s already here, and it’s exciting.
Hands-On with the Future – The Test Drive Experience
Thanks to our partners at Leasing.com, attendees had the chance to get behind the wheel of some of the best electric cars on the market.
Our personal highlight? The BYD Sealion 7. This premium SUV not only turned heads with its refined design, but backed it up with an incredibly smooth and responsive drive. The cabin quality, range, and tech on board make it a serious contender in the EV space — and absolutely deserving of its place among prestige models.
Spotlight on Changan – A Newcomer with Legacy
One of the most exciting discoveries at the event was Changan — a Chinese EV manufacturer with over 165 years of heritage. While relatively unknown in the UK, Changan is already making moves to enter the market in 2025, and their debut vehicle made quite the impression.
We got a first look at the Deepal S07, a sleek crossover SUV that blends familiar European styling with cutting-edge tech. With an expected price under £40,000, it falls just below the luxury car tax threshold. If this is the kind of value Changan plans to bring, they’re definitely one to watch.
Powering the Transition – Solar, Batteries & Smarter Charging
Beyond the cars, Everything Electric also hosted a series of insightful talks on the latest in sustainable tech — and there were a few standout points we believe are worth highlighting:
☀️ Solar Works in the UK – Really!
Contrary to common belief, solar panels don’t need blazing sunlight to generate power. Modern panels are designed to work efficiently even in cloudy conditions, making them a realistic and increasingly popular choice for UK households.
🔋 Battery Storage = Energy Freedom
By pairing solar with a home battery system, you can store generated electricity and use it when it suits you — typically when energy demand (and grid prices) are at their peak.
💡 Smarter Tariffs, Smarter Homes
With day/night electricity tariffs, batteries can also be charged overnight at lower rates, then used during the day to cut down reliance on the grid. When combined with home EV charging, this setup can drastically reduce the cost of running an electric vehicle.
Together, these technologies are shaping a future where your home, car, and energy use all work in harmony — affordable, efficient, and better for the planet.
Final Thoughts – A Truly Electric Experience
Everything Electric 2025 wasn’t just about showcasing shiny new cars — though there were plenty of those! It was about education, accessibility, and empowerment. The event showed just how far electric vehicles and clean energy solutions have come, and how they’re becoming increasingly practical for real people.
Whether you’re looking to lease your first EV, upgrade your current ride, or explore smart home energy solutions, this event highlighted just how exciting and viable those options are today.
We left inspired — and we hope this gives you a taste of what’s ahead.
