Highlights will include the Vauxhall Ampera and Gordon Murray driving his own T25 three-seater city car.
The event will run on the 60-mile route from Brighton to London but in reverse, starting from Madeira Drive in Brighton and finishing in London’s Regent Street.
The Brighton to London Future Car Challenge is not a race, but there is an optional challenge to use the least energy within a given time.
Mr Cussons, Chairman of The Royal Automobile Club Motoring Committee, said: “We're confident this will be the largest, most public, showcase for low energy vehicles that has ever taken place in Europe.
“[It] is therefore just as significant as The Royal Automobile Club’s world famous London to Brighton Veteran Car Run which takes place the following day.”
