RAI Association and EV Experience join forces

April 3, 2025

Social partner

With the partnership, RAI Association and EV Experience strengthen each other’s strengths. RAI Association brings years of experience, knowledge of laws and regulations and a broad network within government and mobility sector. The EV Experience provides a stage where visitors can experience electric transport and emission-free solutions for themselves. The lead role is reserved for the electric car, but other forms of mobility are also well represented – from electric bicycles, cargobikes, scooters, motorcycles and commercial vehicles to the ‘king of the road’: the electric truck.

More than 10 commercial vehicle brands, seven e-truck brands, 50 car brands and a host of electric bike, motorcycle, cargo bike and light electric vehicle brands will make it clear at the EV Experience just how wide the range is and what opportunities are already available. The collaboration aims to inspire thousands of visitors, remove barriers and put the conversation about the future of mobility on the table.

Fries Heinis, RAI Association director: “The transition to electric driving is at a crucial stage. During the EV Experience, everyone experiences for themselves how accessible and attractive electric driving now is – from electric bicycle to truck. This helps to speed up the transition. RAI Association is actively pleading with the government to continue stimulating electric driving in the coming years and to put the conditions in place. As a social partner of the EV Experience, we consciously enter into dialogue with the government and politicians in order to jointly create the conditions needed to accelerate the energy transition.”

In the lion’s den

For six years now, the EV Experience has taken place in the lion’s den: Circuit Zandvoort. At this iconic location, mobility, innovation and experience come together during a unique three-day event. The business market meets and visitors see and experience the latest developments in the field of emission-free transport – directly on the circuit. All forms of electric driving are present and can be tried out. With over 200 exhibitors, this is the event where the market meets and the energy transition gains momentum. Temporary pop-up stores of car brands and suppliers will arise in the pit boxes. On the paddock, vehicles can be tested at the Urban Mobility Test Oval. There are also plenty of knowledge sessions on topics such as grid congestion, green charging, investments, laws and regulations, and charging infrastructure. In this way, visitors will discover what solutions are available and how they can make their own mobility more sustainable.

“I am proud of the fact that RAI Association wants to commit to the EV Experience as a strong player. At this mobility event you walk straight into the future,” says Maarten Pompen, founder and organizer of the EV Experience. “This is what the streets will look like in five years. Here visitors meet parties that will help them embrace the energy transition – and already make the right choices, also in terms of investments and subsidy opportunities.”

EV Experience

The EV Experience will take place from Thursday, October 2 to Saturday, October 4, 2025 at Circuit Zandvoort. Visitors to the event can count on three days full of driving experiences, knowledge sessions and innovations. And not only in the field of electric cars, also in the field of e-bikes, e-truck and more. More info and registration at www.evexperience.nl.
