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. Find out more!

Poll: Are you feeling more optimistic about our local economy lately?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Waikato farmers are leading the way! 🚜🐄 With exports booming and "stellar seasons" on the books, our farmers are pumping value back into the region.

Even with a cautious approach to spending, the benefits are slowly making their way into the local economy.

We want to know: Are you feeling more optimistic about our local economy lately?
