DENVER, July 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Electrify Expo, North America’s largest electric vehicle (EV) festival, continues on its eight-stop tour, bringing its massive display of electric brands to Denver, marking the festival’s first time in Colorado. The action-packed outdoor weekend will take place July 13-14 at The Yards, offering attendees an array of hands-on experiences to rip around the newest EVs and plug-in electric vehicles, as well as electric motorcycles, electric RV trailers, e-bikes, e-scooters, e-skateboards and more.
Colorado is invigorating EV adoption through state and federal incentives, offering up to $23,000 in combined incentives for EV purchases, including a $7,500 federal tax credit, a $5,000 state tax credit and additional utility provider incentives. Additionally, hybrids are gaining popularity, achieving nearly 10% market share without any incentives. As of April 2024, Colorado also offers all residents a $450 e-bike point-of-sale discount, building on the success of its income-qualified e-bike rebate program which exceeded expectations with a redemption rate of 87%.
“As statewide electric and hybrid vehicle adoption rates continue to climb and e-bikes gain in popularity, we believe now is a perfect time to bring Electrify Expo to Denver,” said BJ Birtwell, CEO and founder of Electrify Expo. “We are an electric playground for all ages where people can have first-hand experiences with the best EVs, e-bikes and more, while cashing in on statewide rebates.”
