On Sunday 19 October 2025, Klima-Agence and the Automobile Club of Luxembourg (ACL) organised “Go Electric Day” at Luxembourg’s Coque National Sports and Culture Centre in Luxembourg-Kirchberg.
The event allowed visitors to test a wide range of electric vehicles and mobility solutions on a dedicated urban circuit, discover charging infrastructure for home, workplace and on-the-go use, and learn about subsidies, financing and leasing options. Independent experts and exhibitors were also on hand to provide advice on topics such as solar energy, smart charging management and mobility in shared housing or co-ownership contexts.
The exhibition area featured around 40 stands, representing various sectors of Luxembourg’s growing electromobility ecosystem. Alongside major car brands such as Volvo, Tesla, MerBag, BYD and Hyundai, exhibitors included energy and charging infrastructure specialists like Enovos, Electris, SWIO and Parking Energy. Visitors could explore both indoor and outdoor areas with information stands, interactive demonstrations and vehicle test zones.
Fenn Faber, Director of Klima-Agence, told Chronicle.lu that Go Electric Day was “a new type of event in Luxembourg” and a collaboration between ACL and Klima-Agence “to give the broader public the opportunity to get in touch with electric mobility”. He explained that the event brought together “everything in one place, from vehicles and wall box providers to financing experts and solar energy specialists”. He added that it was “an accessible event for families” with more than 30 models available for test drives.
Reflecting on the development of electromobility in Luxembourg, Fenn Faber noted that “within five years, we have seen an eightfold increase in the number of registered electric vehicles”, adding that the focus now was on “reaching a broader audience, those who might not have been convinced at first and still have questions”.
Miriam Eisenmenger, CEO of ACL, explained to Chronicle.lu that this was “the first time we organised such an event bringing together different stakeholders”, noting that the aim was “to reunite everyone to inform the public about the current status of electromobility in Luxembourg”. She added that ACL wanted to give visitors “a neutral platform to discover the full range of mobility options, from car charging possibilities at home to other sustainable solutions”.
Miriam Eisenmenger also described the event as “a family day” where visitors could explore and test-drive vehicles while children enjoyed activities such as “Bobby cars for the little ones and electric karts for older kids and adults”, alongside food trucks and entertainment at the Coque venue.
According to ACL, over the past decade, the share of purely electric new vehicle registrations has risen from 0.2% in 2015 to 27.4% in 2024, making electric vehicles the second most popular powertrain after petrol (29.6%).
Charging infrastructure has also expanded rapidly, with around 3,000 public charging points now available nationwide - an average of one per kilometre of road. Since the launch of the Klimabonus scheme, approximately 11,000 applications for private charging point subsidies have been submitted to the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity.
