SAN FRANCISCO, June 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Electrify Expo, North America’s largest electric vehicle (EV) festival, is bringing fun for all ages to the San Francisco area this weekend for an action-packed all-electric event, June 24-25, at Alameda Point. Attendees at this year’s Electrify Expo will ride, drive and demo the world's top electric cars and trucks alongside electric motorcycles, e-bikes, e-scooters, e-skateboards and more. This is the first time that Electrify Expo will stop in the San Francisco Bay area, which the S&P Global recently reported is the first major U.S. metropolitan area in which more than half the new vehicles registered are either electric or gas-electric hybrids.
“This is the Bay Area’s best opportunity to experience and feel the thrill of the wide selection of electric vehicles that now exist,” said BJ Birtwell, founder and CEO of Electrify Expo. “With multiple demo courses to enjoy including electric cars, trucks, e-bikes, e-motorcycles, e-scooters, and even a huge kids zone, there is no shortage of fun to be had.”
Electrify Expo San Francisco will be the first time ever that the Volvo EX90 fully-electric SUV is on display to the public. The EX90 features Safe Space Technology powered by lidar with serene Scandinavian interior to offer a driving experience out of the ordinary. Additionally, Ford will have the Mustang Mach-E® 1400, an electric vehicle demonstrator with one-of-a-kind 1400 horsepower prototype developed in collaboration with RTR Vehicles to highlight the performance capability of electric vehicles, at the new Thrill Zone Experience at Electrify Expo in San Francisco. Electrify Expo attendees will have the opportunity to experience an exhilarating thrill ride with a professional driver in the Mustang Mach-E® 1400. To be eligible, registrants must engage in a hot lap in the Mustang Mach-E® GT, or take a test drive of the Mustang Mach-E® or F-150 Lightning® in the Ford Ride & Drive Zone.
