Electrify Expo Announces San Fransisco Event Dates

Electrify Expo is headed back to San Francisco for its fifth stop of the 2024 season. Last year marked the tour’s debut in the Bay Area, and in its second year it has amassed the festival’s largest auto exhibitor roster to date.

The weekend-long festival will take place at Alameda Point on Aug. 24-25 and will allow attendees to experience an array of vehicles, from fully electric SUVs to plug-in hybrids, e-bikes, e-scooters and other electric mobility products.

Thirteen automakers will host ride and drives, including Toyota, Ford, Kia, Rivian, Porsche, Tesla, Volvo, Nissan, Lexus, Vinfast, Lucid, BMW and Hyundai, making Electrify Expo the largest EV event of its kind.

Electrify Expo has become North America’s preferred way to experience all things electric,” said BJ Birtwell, CEO and founder of Electrify Expo. “The days of test driving vehicles in the basement of a convention center are behind us, it is critical that consumers have real, authentic and exhilarating experiences behind the wheel, and that’s what Electrify Expo is bringing to the people.”

  • Nissan debuts at Electrify Expo with its ARIYA and LEAF models as well as its Formula E Show Car.
  • Volvo Cars Electric Drive will take guests on an dynamic experience highlighting the in-car features & benefits of the latest fully electric Volvo products including C40 & XC40 Recharge.
