ELECTRIFY EXPO 2025

Electrify Expo returned to Southern California with its largest lineup of exhibitors. New exhibitors joined the EV festival including ChargePoint, Verge Motorcycles, Karma Automotive, and Drako Motors.

“Electrify Expo attendees experienced the full spectrum of electric offerings, making it the ideal place for first-time shoppers, long-time enthusiasts and even skeptics,” said Electrify Expo founder and CEO, BJ Birtwell. 

“California has long led the way in EV adoption, but we’re now seeing a fresh wave of interest from consumers who have been watching from the sidelines—many of whom are now waking up to the practicality of EVs,” said Birtwell. According to the California New Car Dealers Association's auto outlook released in April 2025, hybrids now hold 17.9% of the automotive market share in the state.
