WASHINGTON, July 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Electrify Expo, North America’s largest electric vehicle (EV) festival, made its first stop of 2023 on the East Coast last weekend in Washington, D.C. Right in the heart of downtown, the festival took over the RFK Stadium Festival Grounds delivering nearly 13,000 test rides of exciting vehicles, e-bikes, e-scooters, e-skateboards and more.
Multiple vehicles had never before been on display to the public on the East Coast including Volvo’s new EX90 fully-electric SUV, the Volkswagen ID.Buzz and Polestar 3 SUV, which recently opened its first vehicle showroom in DC.
“Electrify Expo is at the epicenter of EV adoption and consistently doing the work to ensure support at the federal level to drive the demand of going electric,” said CEO and Founder of Electrify Expo BJ Birtwell. “The most convincing way to attract more consumers to go electric is by putting them behind the wheel or on the seat of an electric vehicle, e-bike and other forms of electric transportation. We're looking forward to continuing this momentum next month in New York.”
While in town, Electrify Expo executives met with members of congress and federal agencies to discuss the need for more EV education, obstacles to mass electrification and the need for consumers to experience first-hand the thrill of going electric.
Electrify Expo’s next stop will be August 12-13 in New York on Long Island at Nassau Coliseum. Tickets for the event are on sale now at www.electrifyexpo.com/attend.
