i-Scoot returning to Noosa EV Expo

There were always huge crowds around the i-Scoot marquee at our 2021 expo, and lots of interest in taking a scooter on the trial ride course. E-scooters have been the quiet revolution in micro-mobility, and so we are delighted that i-Scoot will be returning to our 2022 Noosa EV Expo. With a bigger and better trial ride course, this will be your opportunity to find the e-scooter that's right for you.

ELECTRIC CHAFFEUR SERVICE

We are delighted to welcome Emma Hunt's EV chaffeur service, EV Alternative, to the Noosa Expo. Emma's vehicle is an electric MG, which qualifies for the State Government $3000 rebate, so it will also be a great opportunity to chat with Emma about the vehicle's qualities.

The idea behind this new locally owned start up stems from Emma’s, the owner and operator of the business, desire to increase the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) and reduce the damage fossil fuel vehicles are doing to our environment.

The first goal of EV Alternative is to prove just that, EVs are now a viable and responsible alternative to our current gas guzzlers; therefore although “Clipper” the company’s first vehicle is a looker with beautiful blue paintwork immaculate interior and amazing sky roof, she has to work hard for her living.

The company offers all the usual services such as airport transfers and simple A to B trips as well as bespoke experiences to explore the Coasts attractions and hidden gems. What’s more pricing is comparable if not cheaper than taxi or rideshare options, so there really is no excuse not to book EV Alternative and enjoy getting around guilt free.

So next time you need a lift or maybe just want to have a ride in an EV call Emma at EV Alternative, because moving around the Coast need not cost the Earth.
