The Future of Mobility Takes Center Stage with Exciting New Brands, Free Access for Auto Reps, and Exclusive Insights

With a record lineup of manufacturers and new brands, Electrify Expo is setting the stage for the future of mobility. BJ Birtwell, CEO and founder of Electrify Expo, expressed excitement about the event, stating, “We are thrilled to return to Long Beach this year bigger and better than ever with a record lineup of EV manufacturers and new brands that will add to the thrill factor and fun of the many electric experiences offered.”

The festival’s mission is to address one of the key barriers to mass EV adoption – firsthand experience. The objective of Electrify Expo is to make electric mobility easy to understand and show everyone its perks by offering informative demos and test drives, no matter where they are on their electric journey. And in fact, in March, Birtwell offered free attendance to auto sales reps from over 4,000 U.S. dealerships who pushed for EV mandate delays. More on this here.

Among the highlights of the event are new attractions designed to delight attendees. The all-new Rivian R3 hatchback midsize crossover and an exciting new 2025 model from Kawasaki will be on display at Industry Day, alongside four EV models Hyundai, and Fisker will showcase its roomy midsize crossover EV, the Fisker Ocean. Additionally, the Electrify Race League (ERL) promises to unite top athletes in e-mobility for a series of thrilling competitions. Mario Chacon, a well-known member of Southern California’s PEV community, recently joined our podcast to talk with Jarod about the ERL.

Must-See Features, Charitable Ventures, and California’s EV Domination

Pebble will unveil the Pebble Flow, an all-electric RV trailer camper equipped with a massive EV battery and integrated solar panels, ideal for off-grid exploration for several days. Meanwhile, the Amazon Recharge Zone will provide valuable information and debunk myths surrounding EV ownership through a series of educational programs.

Ford enthusiasts can look forward to the return of the Ford Thrill Zone, offering hot laps in the Mustang Mach-E GT with a professional driver. Electrify Expo and Volvo are teaming up for a charitable mission, set to be announced at Industry Day on May 31.

California’s leading role in EV adoption is reflected in Electrify Expo’s lineup, with the state accounting for 34% of the country’s new light-duty zero-emissions vehicle sales last year. Additionally, California surpassed 100,000 EV chargers and currently offers grants for low-income residents. California’s ongoing commitment to sustainability drives innovation. Electrify Expo acts as a central point for current EV owners staying updated on the latest advancements and newcomers keen to learn more about electric mobility.

As Birtwell highlights, Electrify Expo offers something for everyone, from enthusiasts to skeptics. “Do not miss this record-setting event,” he urges, highlighting the unique opportunity for attendees to experience the future of transportation firsthand.
