The 361 Energy Fair is back in Barnstaple on September 29th. The 2024 event starts at 10 AM in the Pannier Market with an introduction by Ian Roome, the newly elected Liberal Democrat MP for North Devon.

The event includes exhibitions from a variety of local electric car dealers, and several of the EVs are V2x enabled. I suspect the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N will attract a lot of interest. Here’s Jack Scarlett’s review of “the most engaging electric driver’s car yet?” for the Fully Charged Show:
