Test Drives

We’ve tried to make the test drive process as easy as possible for you by bringing all the information in one place!

All manufacturers / dealerships are running pre-booked test drives as well as on the day test drives. To note, Polestar and Telsa use their own pre-booking portal (all linked to the right of this page).

All manufacturers /dealerships will also be running on the day test drives, pending availability.

We have also included the models each manufacturer / dealership will be bringing to EV LIVE at Blenheim Palace.

Each test drive will last 30 minutes and we recommend when pre-booking test drives to leave at least 15 minutes between test drives.

We also recommend arriving 10 minutes early for each test drive to complete the necessary paperwork.

On the day test drives are operated on a first come first serve basis.

For all test drives at EV LIVE at Blenheim Palace, drivers are required to fulfil the following criteria:

• Be aged over 25 years old
• Have held a full UK driving licence for at least 2 years
• Less than 6 points on their driving licence

DVLA Check Code

Whether you are pre-booking test drives or looking to test drive on the day, we strongly recommend coming prepared with a DVLA Check Code and a printed or digital overview of your licence.

This is a simple process, completed by the DVLA, and will help the test drives teams register you when you arrive for each test drive.

To create a DVLA check code, follow these steps, and remember to print a physical copy or to download the pdf version of your licence overview and save to your phone.
