Electrify Expo San Francisco Returns with Record-Setting Automotive Exhibitors
06 August 2024 - 7:26PM
Electrify Expo, North America’s largest electric vehicle (EV)
festival, is headed back to San Francisco for its fifth stop of the
2024 season. Last year marked the tour’s debut in the Bay Area, and
in its second year it has amassed the festival’s largest auto
exhibitor roster to date. Remarkably, this record is not just a
milestone for Electrify Expo, but for the entire EV industry, as it
is the largest lineup of EV automakers exhibiting their vehicles at
any event. The weekend-long festival will take place at Alameda
Point on August 24-25 and will allow attendees to experience an
array of vehicles, from fully electric SUVs to plug-in hybrids,
alongside e-bikes, e-scooters and other electric mobility products.
California has always been a leader in EV adoption,
and in the Bay Area, the appetite for electric is growing strong.
Last year, electric vehicles in San Francisco made up 34 percent of
new auto registrations, largely due to the desire to own the newest
advanced technology and the investment the state has made in EV
infrastructure. Citizen and government commitment to EVs has
broadened the market in San Francisco and made Electrify Expo’s
unique offerings a hotspot for automakers and attendees alike.
Thirteen of the largest automakers in the world
will host ride and drives, getting people in the seat of their most
sought after models that are leading the electric revolution
including Toyota, Ford, Kia, Rivian, Porsche, Tesla, Volvo, Nissan,
Lexus, Vinfast, Lucid, BMW and Hyundai, making Electrify Expo the
largest EV event of its kind.
“Electrify Expo has become North America’s
preferred way to experience all things electric,” said BJ Birtwell,
CEO and founder of Electrify Expo. “The days of test driving
vehicles in the basement of a convention center are behind us, so
to truly deliver on the converting qualities of EVs to first-time
electric vehicle shoppers, it is critical that consumers have real,
authentic and exhilarating experiences behind the wheel, and that’s
what Electrify Expo is bringing to the people.”
