Electric vehicle community day at Hampton Downs!

Hampton Downs Motorsport Park

We're hoping to set a record for the number of electric vehicles (EVs) in one place this weekend! Join us Sunday afternoon for a drive with a difference at the Hampton Downs Motorsport Park - noon to 4:30pm, 7th October. McLaren and Tesla are racing!

EV owners can drive around the 2.8km race track! Tackle the track by donation or koha to help the organising group the Electric Vehicle Association of Aotearoa (EVAA) with funding. Get advice, talk about your cars, there is a prize-giving too!

EVs will be able to charge on site, using the WEL Networks fast charger there or another a few minutes away at Te Kauwhata, plus a variety of plug-in chargers.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
