Review of Fully Charged Show South Live 2022

Last weekend we visited the Fully Charged Show South LIVE Event. I have been following this clean energy show on You Tube and the Fully Charged podcast for a while so grabbed some tickets for a fun and interesting day out.

If you haven’t discovered the Fully Charged Show then keep reading. In this article I’ll introduce you to the show, who they are and what they do. I’ll also share a review of the 2022 show held in the south of the UK.

About The Fully Charged Show

Fully Charged is the world’s number 1 clean energy & electric vehicle channel. Hosted by writer, broadcaster and actor Robert Llewellyn, Dan Caesar, Jack Scarlett, Helen Czerski, Chelsea Sexton and Andy Torbet.

The origins of Fully Charged asked the question, ‘is it possible for humans to no longer need to burn things to live, to work and to travel?

Fully Charged exists therefore to educate, encourage and explain to its viewers that a very high percentage of the energy that the global population demands can and should, come from ‘clean’ sources, like solar, wind and energy storage. In short, the team at Fully Charged would like the world to STOP BURNING STUFF.

Why Did we Go To The Fully Charged Show LIVE 2022?

Dave and I are fully aware of our impact on the planet and we’re on our own Green Journey. We’re constantly exploring new technologies and looking at innovative companies to help us reduce our impact on the planet.

What have we done to reduce our impact on the planet?

So far we have:

  • We have been vegetarians for a number of years. We made this decision initially to improve our overall health now that we’re in our 50s. However, having read about the shocking environmental impact of meat production we are glad me made the switch. It just makes sense to stop eating meat!
  • Our home energy demands have been reduced by installing loft and cavity wall insulation
  • We’ve made the switch to renewal energy. We have solar panels and x2 battery storage units installed. These help power our home during the day and evening as well as heating our hot water, which reduces our use of gas heating.
  • We have solar panel installed in our motorhome so that we’re self-sufficient as much as possible on the road. Our motorhome is 3 years old and is as up to date on diesel emissions and fuel efficiencies at it can be. We currently tour in the UK to keep our costs and ‘burning stuff’ impact low. We’re watching the motorhome industry with interest as they experiment with Electric Vehicles for Leisure. We’d love to switch to an electric motorhome in the future .
  • We drive an Electric Car (an ID3 VW), which we charge from home using energy generated by our solar panels and battery storage.
  • Around our home we’re using more planet friendly household products from cleaning products to dog poo bags. We’re making switches every week as we spot new climate friendly products.
  • We aim for simply living, we only buy essential items. We are quite minimalist which saves money and reduces waste. No fast fashion. No bulk buying or impulse buying.
  • When we do buy stuff we look to support local businesses where possible.

But we know there is a lot more we can do.

We’re not perfect, we’re on a simple living journey. We’re making changes on a weekly basis to reduce our impact on the planet and encourage others to do the same.

So the great thing about the Fully Charged Show LIVE is that we can research and find more ways to help the planet. I really hope this post inspires you to start your own green journey too.

Where was Fully Charged Show LIVE held in 2022?

The 2022 UK Fully Charged Show LIVE was held at Farnborough Air Field. Visitors were able to book and test drive some of the latest EV Cars, e-Scooters and e-Bikes. There were outside and inside stalls, and covered seating areas to listen to expert talks and presentations.

What We liked About The Fully Charged Show

Here’s a round-up of what we thought about this years’ show:

  • Ability to talk to experts – as well as chatting to sales advisors on the trade stands we really enjoyed sitting down 1 to 1 with experts in the home energy area. They were really helpful in identifying further ways in which we could improve our home energy including smart radiator thermostats. I’d never heard of these. One of the home energy experts gave us a LIVE demo of how these work. We’re now adding these to our home energy changes in the near future.
  • Back to Back Talks – Throughout the day, on all three days, there were LIVE talks and presentations. The Fully Charged Show presenters interviewed a wide range of industry experts, CEO’s, engineers, manufacture reps, council’s and more. The sessions covered a wide range of topics from agriculture to e-planes, EV cars and micro mobility. Each session lasted 30 mins with an opportunity for a Q&A from the audience at the end of each session.
  • Professional and Competent Presenters. We both agreed that the fully charged show presenters were incredibly professional and did a fantastic job of controlling the LIVE sessions to give a balanced view of each topic as well as healthy debates and questions.
  • Large range of Electric Vehicle Cars (EVs). Several car manufacturers had an EV on display that you could sit in and explore up close. There were also several EVs available to test drive.
  • Prototypes and concept EVs – Nissan, Ora and Kia were showcasing new prototype cars that are soon to come to market. There were also some fun and innovative concept EVs
  • Other forms of EVs. We really enjoyed talking to business representatives for service and delivery companies. They appear to be making real progress to switching their vehicles to Electric. From small delivery vans and trucks to massive high tech lorries, buses and even refuse collection trucks. There was also an e-plane, yes it actually flies!
  • Micro Mobility Test Track. This was a popular area where visitors could ‘have a go’. There were e-bikes, e-Scooters, one-wheels and e-Skateboards to try out around a track. Dave had a go on a top of the range e-Scooter, which he enjoyed. Whilst I rode a Brompton fold-up bike, similar to mine, that had a battery conversion kit installed. The pack was light weight and provided plenty of speed and motion assistance. I think it’s great to have the option to convert an existing bike. Not everyone can afford to buy a new e-Bike. Conversion kits will hopefully allow more people to have an e-Bike.
  • Good range of plant based refreshments. It was refreshing to see food and drink stands with a focus on plant based, veggie and vegan foods.

  • Top notch toilet facilities. There were plenty of facilities around the show area, which meant no queues for the ladies yay! Spotlessly clean and cleaning team were around all day.
  • Plenty for the Kids too. For families attending the show there was plenty to keep the kids busy. From drawing and painting areas to fun fair rides and test drives for kids.

So What’s Next For Fully Charged Show LIVE

I was excited to hear that the team are looking to include food and cooking to future shows. This is great news for vegetarians and vegans who want to share their knowledge and experiences. Reducing or eliminating meat has so many proven benefits for our health as well as reducing impacts on the planet. I look forward to seeing Robert Llewellyn on a cook-off at the next show 🙂

When Is The Next Fully Charged Show LIVE
