SEATTLE, Sept. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Electrify Expo, North America’s largest electric vehicle (EV) festival, is bringing all-electric fun for families, shoppers and thrill seekers to Seattle this weekend for an action-packed event, September 9-10, at Marymoor Park in Redmond, Washington. Attendees at Electrify Expo will ride, drive and demo the world's leading electric cars and trucks alongside electric motorcycles, e-bikes, e-scooters, e-skateboards and more.
“Consumers are embracing the idea to go electric but still have questions about what that means,” said BJ Birtwell, CEO and founder of Electrify Expo. “Electrify Expo answers that by making it easy for consumers to get behind the wheel of an EV, hop on the seat of an e-bike, e-scooter, e-motorcycle and more on a variety of demo courses. There’s no better way to drive EV adoption than hands-on experiences with these products from the world’s leading brands.”
According to Axios, Seattle's adoption of EVs has far outpaced the nation’s and Electrify Expo is bringing nearly every EV maker right to their backyards to try the vehicles out for themselves.
Electrify Expo Seattle will be the final stop on the West Coast for the 2023 tour. Following New York, this will be the second time the US public will get to see Volvo’s new EX30 affordable SUV, the company’s first compact fully electric crossover is its quickest car ever, alongside their new EX90 fully-electric SUV. One of the most anticipated EVs of the year, the all-new spacious Kia EV9 SUV with third row seating for up to seven passengers, will also be on display at the festival before it hits the roads later this year. The Polestar 3 SUV also made its debut at Electrify Expo San Francisco and will make the trip to Seattle for the first time. Tesla will be on display with their Model 3, S, X & Y, including a Plaid version for consumers to test out.
