The Show'N'Shine
Get excited by the different EVs out there that others own
One of the best ways to see how many different types of EVs are around is to see what other people have. Show'N'Shine is for people to showcase their own electric vehicles and to see what's possible. Chat to people who not only drive EV's but have designed and built them. It could be anything from an electric assist bike that someone uses for grocery shopping to a fully customised EV built from the ground up for a special purpose. It could even be someone's daily transport.
Show'N'Shine lets you see a diversity of EVs you will not see elsewhere. To get a hint at what you will see, here are some of the vehicles confirmed for EV Expo 2019.
Judges for 2019

Cars - Grant Downie & Negley Aspeling

MY “BEV” PROJECT
By Bryan Drummond
“BEV” stands for Battery Electric Vehicle or in my case, Bryan’s Electric Vehicle. I’ve had a dream to build a BEV in my retirement phase, for the last few years. The search criteria was a small, 2 door coupe, light weight, manual transmission, small engine capacity and no networked electronic modules in the vehicle.
The Holden Barina, Model SB “City”, year 2000, manual 5 speed, 1.4 litre engine fits these criteria well.

2012 Nissan Leaf
The Tardis
By Paul Baker
Purchased the 2012 Nissan Leaf second hand in 2016 with 10,000 km on the ODO. In 2.5 years I have added 50,000 km of zero emission driving. I commute 90 to 120 km return a day to the city. I have taken the Leaf on 190 to 270 km adventures outside the safety of the suburbs utilising Type 2 and Tesla charging plugs with adapters.

Trek Fuel EX9
Trek Fuel EX9
By John Wessel
Full Suspension Mountain Bike with hidden friction drive system. Transmission is via a light weight Outrunner electric motor hidden under the bike's bottom bracket. Power is transmitted to the back wheel through direct motor contract with the tire.
A VESC skate board speed controller is used in conjunction with a 36 volt 250 Whr custom built battery. The Battery uses Samsung 3.45ah 18650 cells in a 10S2P configuration.

1972 Honda Scamp
By J Robert Paterson
Runs a 48 volt 10kw 'Golden Motor' brush-less BLDC motor and controller driving through an original 4 speed manual gearbox via a chain drive.
It is still a work in progress with limited battery capacity and will be trailered to the event. I hope to meet other people who have experience with similar power-plants as I feel it is not running to its full potential

A father son project to convert a Capri, it gave me a lot of enjoyment in converting from an ICE powered to full electric drive.
CapriLee 144V - Best Conversion Electric Car, Winner 2018
By Mario Giannattilio
The special part is that now since, 19 Dec 2012, have driven past many petrol stations, without the need to stop!
The quite drive is a pleasure each time I drive it. My average daily commute is 27kms and charge via the solar array at home, so now I can also claim, it does cost me nothing to run.
Another main point is that, "the next generation like my son, is that they have been and will continue to be exposed, to that there are other ways to have mobility, that is clean and efficient be it a combination of solar, electric or hydrogen cells.

Acty Van
1987 Honda Acty Van - Best Conversion Work, Winner 2018
By Trevor Walker
Fun little car to drive, converted in my garage with no special tools, with lots of help from youtube and google. My inspiration was major car companies not producing entry level electric cars for the masses. This is real upcycling using 30 year old car converting to electric to give it a new lease of life. To maintain serenity the audio system was removed, this gave a place for the digital meter.
