EV Experience: free test drives
The main draw for EV shoppers is EV Experience: free test drives with an independent expert riding along, across multiple brands, so you can compare models back to back. Booking opened on October 1 at ev-experience.ch, and the first slots start at 8 a.m., two hours before the show opens. Places are limited.
AMAG (VW, Audi, Škoda, Cupra) takes over all of Hall 5, with its newest EVs such as the Audi A2 e-tron.
Worth the trip?
If you're in Switzerland anyway, or want to try several EVs in one day, yes. Messe Zürich is a few minutes by train from Zürich airport.
