The transition to electric transport is moving beyond passenger cars, and fleet operators will get a closer look at the growing range of electric trucks, vans and commercial vehicles when Everything Electric returns to Sydney in September.
The three-day event, held at Sydney Showground from 18–20 September 2026, is expected to attract more than 40,000 visitors and showcase more than 100 electric vehicle models.
While passenger EVs will form a major part of the event, organisers have deliberately broadened the show to include trucks, vans, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, e-bikes and other electric transport options.
For heavy and light commercial fleet operators, that reflects an important shift in the market.
Electric commercial vehicles are moving from relatively small demonstration programs towards a wider range of practical applications, particularly in metropolitan delivery, service fleets and operations where vehicles return to a depot each day.
Everything Electric gives operators an opportunity to examine those vehicles alongside the charging and energy technology needed to support them.
Commercial EV choice is growing
Manufacturers scheduled to exhibit include a diverse mix of established and newer automotive brands, including BYD, Farizon, GAC, Geely, GWM, Hyundai, MG, Subaru and Weichai.
The event will also include several expected vehicle launches.
For fleet operators trying to understand the commercial EV market, having manufacturers and technology suppliers gathered in one location offers the opportunity to ask the questions that matter operationally — including payload, range, charging time, energy consumption, vehicle utilisation and infrastructure requirements.
A major part of the event will be the EV Test Drive Experience, with more than 7,500 test drives planned across the three days.
More than 100 electric vehicles are expected to be available to drive.
Although not every vehicle at the show will be relevant to heavy vehicle operations, seeing different electric powertrain technologies operating back-to-back can help transport and fleet managers better understand how quickly the technology is developing.
Charging is only part of the transition
Vehicle selection is just one part of commercial fleet electrification.
Operators also need to consider depot energy capacity, charger selection, vehicle scheduling, electricity costs and potentially on-site generation and battery storage.
That broader energy ecosystem will be a major part of Everything Electric Sydney.
Exhibitors will include energy and technology organisations such as Ausgrid, Origin Energy, Amber Electric and Schneider Electric, alongside suppliers involved in charging, batteries and energy management.
More than 40 expert sessions will also run during the event, with subjects including vehicle-to-grid technology, charging, battery storage, range and future electric vehicle models.
Those discussions are becoming increasingly relevant to commercial vehicle fleets as operators investigate how electric trucks and vans can be integrated without disrupting existing transport operations.
Dan Caesar, Global CEO of Everything Electric, said the show would give Australians an opportunity to understand how rapidly electrification technology is evolving.
“Everything Electric Sydney comes at a pivotal time, with more choice, better technology and greater consumer interest than we’ve ever seen,” Caesar said.
For transport businesses that have been watching electric trucks and vans from the sidelines, Everything Electric Sydney provides a chance to move beyond the headlines and start examining the vehicles, charging systems and operational requirements in person.
