Everyone Electric is an attractively presented exhibition on technological innovations in the field of electric transport and provides a glimpse into a sustainable future with electric cars, smart grids and clean sustainable energy generated at home.
The centrepiece of the exhibition is the first series of the Nissan Leaf to be rolled out, this family car is powered entirely by electricity and has been hailed 2011 car of the year. That electric transport goes back quite far in history will become apparent to visitors on the basis of a timeline. The timeline includes a number of historic objects from NEMO's heritage collection, such as a car used in the Witkar sharing project from 1974 and an electric bicycle from 1933. Furthermore, visitors can view a range of different charging points for electric cars from the Netherlands and abroad.
Due to the increase of the number of electric cars in the future, a smart grid (or intelligent electricity network) is necessary to spread all the electricity consumption evenly over the day.
This is clarified for visitors by means of an interactive digital model of a metropolis.
Moreover, visitors to the exhibition will see devices which, owing to the arrival of a smart grid, are interesting for use at home. These include a washing machine that decides when to start on the basis of electricity rates and a small windmill that can also be fitted on the roof of your home.
