For the next two days (May 22–23), Manufaktura Square in Łódź will transform into the heart of electromobility. EV Experience Urban Edition is the largest e-mobility festival in Poland, where visitors will have the chance to test around 100 electric vehicle models with a total value of approximately 13 million PLN — from the affordable Dacia Spring priced at 76,900 PLN to the luxurious BMW i7 M70 worth over 1 million PLN.
But it’s more than just test drives — it’s a full weekend of attractions for families, industry experts, and electric mobility enthusiasts alike.
EV Experience is an event that lets you experience all the benefits of electromobility in practice. Visitors can directly compare different electric vehicle models in one place, gain expert knowledge, and enjoy a fun-filled experience for the whole family — all organized by the Polish New Mobility Association, the City of Łódź, and EV Klub Polska.
“This is already the fourth edition of our event, but this time in a completely new format. Previous editions attracted over 8,000 participants, who completed more than 5,500 test drives, showing the huge interest in electric mobility among Poles. That’s why we decided to move the event to the very center of Łódź — to reach as many people as possible, including those who don’t actively seek information about e-mobility in their daily lives.
We believe that the best way to get convinced about electric vehicles is hands-on experience — direct contact with the vehicle, test drives, and the chance to ask questions to experts and experienced users. That’s why this year we prepared around 100 models for testing, and expanded our team of experts who will answer all questions on site — from costs and range, to charging infrastructure and technical aspects of usage,” says Maciej Mazur, Managing Director of PSNM.
Test Drives, Unique Projects, and Fun for Everyone
At the heart of the event are test drives with electric vehicles on specially designed urban routes. This is a unique opportunity to experience how EVs perform in everyday conditions. Importantly, most of the showcased vehicles qualify for subsidies under the “NaszEauto” program, meaning their price does not exceed PLN 276,750 gross, and depending on the model, leasing is available for just a few hundred zlotys per month.
A key support for EV Experience comes from the City of Łódź, which is actively involved in organizing the event. This aligns perfectly with the city’s electric mobility development policy, including increasing the number of charging points and promoting electric vehicles among residents.
– Łódź is prioritizing electromobility as a key element of the city’s ecological transformation. EV Experience Urban Edition is not only a promotion of sustainable transport but also an excellent opportunity to show the residents of our city and region what the future of mobility looks like. Through this event, we aim to actively involve Łódź citizens in the discussion about modern transport solutions and contribute to raising environmental awareness – emphasizes Adam Wieczorek, Vice President of the City of Łódź.
A standout attraction is the Feniks project prepared by EV Repair Garage: a post-accident Tesla Model 3 that specialists rebuilt and then disassembled. This allows visitors to see what an electric vehicle looks like “from the inside.” Attendees can also take advantage of battery capacity tests (SOH – State-of-Health) on selected electric vehicles, conducted by DEKRA specialists.
EV Klub Polska Meet-up – the largest electric vehicle user community in Poland
Tomorrow (May 23), the highly anticipated meet-up of EV Klub Polska members will take place – the country’s largest community of electric vehicle users, bringing together over 12,000 people.
– “This is already our seventh meet-up, and the fourth as part of EV Experience. Our club members have driven millions of kilometers on electricity and represent a huge source of practical knowledge. During the meet-up, anyone interested will be able to talk directly with real EV users, ask questions about daily use, actual ranges, operating costs, and see what vehicles look like after several years of use. This kind of firsthand experience is invaluable for anyone considering purchasing an electric vehicle,” says Łukasz Lewandowski, President of the EV Klub Polska Foundation.
A program full of attractions for everyone
Throughout both days of EV Experience, the main stage will host expert talks, debates, interviews, and Q&A sessions. Among the stars of the event are rally driver Miko Marczyk, ambassador of EV Experience, and well-known sustainable lifestyle advocate Sylwia Majcher, who will present a zero-waste culinary show during the day. Interestingly, the culinary creations will be prepared using electricity from an electric vehicle battery, made possible by Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology.
The organizers have also planned plenty of activities for the youngest participants: a remote-controlled car track, face painting, and special platforms allowing children to accompany their parents during test drives.
