More than 50 owners of electric vehicles gathered in Braddan at the weekend for an electric vehicle (EV) meet-up event.

A mix of cars filled the car park at the Manx Utilities headquarters with lots of colour but little noise as EV owners and those interested in becoming one met over coffee and cake provided by Barista Express.

Event organiser and Douglas councillor, Frank Schuengel said: ’To see such a fantastic turnout for an event that started as a simple idea on social media is fantastic and shows that interest in alternative fuel vehicles is on the rise. The wide mix of brands and models on display also gave a great indication of how popular EVs are becoming and I am hoping that we will have many events like this in the future.’
