THINKING ABOUT GOING ELECTRIC? LET’S PLUG INTO IT.
Bunch of Grapes Hotel, 401 Pleasant St South, Ballarat

  • Ever wondered what it’s like to own an EV?

  • Is range anxiety just a fancy term for “I forgot to charge again”?

  • Are they super pricey—or just super clever?

  • How long do they take to charge (enough time to watch a Netflix episode or an entire season)?

  • Do they even need servicing, or do they just magically run on good vibes?

If you’ve got questions—we’ve got real-life EV owners ready to spill the (battery-powered) beans. They’ve driven the Teslas, the BYD Seals, the Hyundai Konas, the Volvos... and lived to tell the tale.

Whether you’re dreaming of something shiny and new, or a second-hand steal, there’s something here for everyone.

So come hang out! Grab a drink, have a feed, chat with some electrifying people, and leave a little wiser (and maybe a little smug) about the world of EVs.

No sales pitch. No pressure. Just good chats, good company, and zero emissions.

Green Drinks is an international organisation with local chapters around the world hosting free monthly informal networking sessions for people who care about the environment and climate action. Visit the international Green Drinks website here.

Michael Poulton, CEO Committee for Ballarat, at Ballarat Green Drinks, May 16 talking about the Ballarat Energy Network, a vision for a 100% renewable Ballarat

As host of the Ballarat chapter, BREAZE Inc. invites local experts and specialists with a background in issues such as environmental conservation, waste resource recovery, renewable energy and energy efficiency to present on the third Thursday of the month from February to November.

Given this is a social networking group intended to help locals make connections, we invite attendees to arrive by 6:30pm to order their drinks or meals before the talk, which begins at 7:00 pm and is followed by a Q&A which runs to 8:00pm. The venue for Ballarat Green Drinks is the Bunch of Grapes Hotel, 401 Pleasant St South, Redan, Ballarat.
