Public Invited to Experience Electric Vehicles at BEV In-Depth Outdoor Exhibit

The City of Greater Sudbury invites residents and visitors to explore the future of electric mobility at a free, outdoor EV exhibit, part of the fifth annual BEV In Depth Conference taking place Thursday, May 28, 2026, at Cambrian College.

The exhibit will feature a range of consumer electric vehicles provided by Greater Sudbury automative dealers, along with free test drives hosted by Plug N’ Drive. Visitors will also learn how Northern Ontario’s critical minerals sector supports the growing battery electric vehicle industry.

These real world experiences demonstrate how decisions made across the critical minerals value chain – from mining through processing – directly influence vehicle performance, adoption and market readiness, reinforcing Greater Sudbury’s role in Canada’s evolving battery electric economy.

A featured attraction at the outdoor exhibit is Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association’s Project Arrow, Canada’s national automotive innovation initiative. Prototype vehicles – Vector and Borealis – showcase Canadian expertise in advanced vehicle technology and innovation through collaboration with dozens of companies and organizations across the country. 

This will mark the first time Project Arrow is featured in Northern Ontario. Presented by the City of Greater Sudbury, the fifth BEV In Depth Conference brings together more than 250 leaders from mining, automotive, mineral processing, battery technology, clean energy, defense, government and academia. This year’s theme, “Transforming the Critical Minerals Value Chain,” focuses on advancing a sustainable, ethical and domestically supplied battery electric ecosystem.

Residents and visitors are encouraged to stop by the outdoor exhibit to experience electric vehicles firsthand and learn more about the future of clean transportation. For more information, visit www.bevindepth.ca.
