A charity has teamed up with the University of Bolton to host an electric car event with several major retailers in tow.

The Bolton IAM RoadSmart Group will host the day at the university’s National Centre for Motorsport Engineering NCME, giving people a taster session for electric driving.

A spokesman for the group said: “Back in September 2021, Bolton and District Advanced Motorists hosted the fantastic Northern Electric Car Show which was a great success and very well attended.

“We are doing something similar but different this year at NCME within the University of Bolton, and it looks like it’s going to be a show not to be missed by anyone who drives or is thinking of moving to an electric car. “
