The festival is right across from the Chase Center, where the San Francisco Giants play. Even though the Giants won’t be playing at home that weekend and you’ll need to wait a bit longer to see pitcher Blake Snell in action this season, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the exciting Expo attractions. The Olivia Rodrigo concert at Chase Center will already be over, so you can focus on all things electric. San Francisco’s late August weather is usually mild and pleasant, perfect for enjoying the outdoor activities. Plus, with Michelin Guide-recommended restaurants nearby, you can treat yourself to some of the city’s best cuisine.
Why Electrify Expo is the Place to Be
California has always been at the forefront of adopting electric vehicles, with the Bay Area taking the lead. Last year, electric vehicles made up 34% percent of new auto registrations in San Francisco. The increase in electric vehicle adoption is fueled by the public’s growing interest in the latest technology and the state’s strong investment in EV infrastructure. By March 2024, California had surpassed 100,000 public and shared private EV chargers, in addition to 500,000 home chargers installed for personal use.
This commitment has made Electrify Expo a hotspot for both automakers and enthusiasts, showcasing a diverse range of electric vehicles from fully electric cars and SUVs to plug-in hybrids, e-bikes, and e-scooters.
This year, the event features participation from thirteen of the world’s largest automakers, including Toyota, Ford, Kia, Rivian, Porsche, Tesla, Volvo, Nissan, Lexus, Vinfast, Lucid, BMW, and Hyundai. Attendees will have the opportunity to test drive the most popular electric models, making Electrify Expo the biggest EV event of its kind.
