London to Brighton EV Rally opens free entries for 26 June 2027
Up to 100 electric vehicles drive 60 miles from Westminster to Madeira Drive. Entry is free, and the seafront EVillage is free to visit.
Entries are open for the London to Brighton EV Rally on Saturday 26 June 2027, and it costs nothing to take part. Up to 100 electric vehicles will leave Westminster and drive 60 miles to Madeira Drive.
It isn’t a race. Everyone drives the same route on public roads, and the trophy in each of 11 categories goes to the vehicle that uses the least energy. That way a city car is never judged against a bus. Any road-legal electric vehicle can enter, from vans and e-motorbikes to e-bikes and self-builds.
Free entry covers the driver and every passenger with a seat belt, plus pastries and a coffee at the start, rally stickers and the awards party over Brighton Marina. The organisers say last year’s rally sold out.
You don’t need a car to go. The EVillage on Madeira Drive is free and open to everyone, with manufacturer stands, food and an e-bike test track. Test drives are pre-booked, and the organisers say every one of the 200 slots was taken at the 2026 rally.
The Argus first reported that entries had opened.
