In St. Lucia, the recent EV Lucian Car Show & Trade Expo marked a major step toward sustainable transport on the island. Held at Caribbean Cinemas Car Park, the event united government representatives, automotive dealers, green-tech experts and curious citizens, all eager to explore electric vehicles (EVs) and understand how they could reshape daily mobility.
The expo showcased a diverse lineup of electric and hybrid vehicles, both brand-new and second-hand, giving attendees a hands-on experience through test drives. Displayed alongside the vehicles were home charging systems, solar energy technologies, and financing services — making it clear that this was not just an auto show, but a platform for a holistic approach toward electric mobility. Organizers emphasized that EV Lucian is “about change” — changing how people think about transport, how the island powers itself, and how St. Lucia preserves its natural beauty.
One of the highlights of EV Lucian was a series of educational workshops. Experts from the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College presented “Electric Vehicles 101,” explaining what EVs are, how they work, and why they make sense for St. Lucia. Another session, led by GIZ, focused on battery technology and recycling, exploring how batteries can be reused responsibly and how their lifecycle impacts sustainability. A third workshop by Eco Carib examined how renewable energy (especially solar) can support the EV ecosystem.
The event received strong support from both public and private sectors: Title Sponsors included the Government of Saint Lucia and Accela Marketing; Republic Bank and Beacon Insurance were Premium Sponsors, while LUCELEC, JQ Motors and other local businesses joined as Bronze Sponsors. This level of involvement reflects the island’s growing commitment to cleaner transport and demonstrates that sustainable mobility is becoming a priority for both institutions and citizens.
Attendees remarked on how eye-opening the expo was. Many stated they didn’t realize so many types of EVs were available in St. Lucia, while others appreciated the chance to test these vehicles firsthand. The event was designed to demystify EV technology — showing that it’s not just for early adopters or large cities, but can be part of everyday life on the island.
From a broader perspective, EV Lucian aligns with St. Lucia’s national strategy to reduce its carbon footprint and lessen dependence on imported fossil fuels. The move toward electric mobility supports the island’s climate goals and strengthens energy resilience, especially in a region vulnerable to climate change. Key national targets include building out EV infrastructure and training technicians in EV maintenance. Resource planning documents show that St. Lucia has mapped out a roadmap to expand EV adoption and integrate charging stations into strategic locations.
In conclusion, EV Lucian 2025 was more than just a car show — it was a powerful signal that St. Lucia is ready to shift into a cleaner, more sustainable future. By combining education, test drives, and industry partnerships, the event made electric mobility accessible and real.
