About This Show
AI-drafted summaryElectrify Expo is billed as North America's largest electric vehicle festival, an entirely outdoor event where visitors can ride, drive, and demo the latest electric and hybrid vehicles. With over 1 million square feet of space, it is described as North America's #1 EV event platform, showcasing leading brands and startups through hands-on activations and demos spanning EVs, micro-mobility, solar energy, charging solutions, Powersports, automotive aftermarket, and connected home technology. The Portland edition marks the show's debut in the city and runs across a full weekend.
For 2026, Electrify Expo was created to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles by providing demo ride experiences. Notably, Electrify Expo has expanded into the Demo Days Festival, and it now operates as a dedicated premium EV and hybrid zone inside the larger Demo Days event.
The festival is designed for a broad audience — EV shoppers, enthusiasts, and families. What began as a bold concept has grown into the world's largest electric vehicle and e-mobility festival, attracting enthusiasts, families, and first-time EV shoppers. It is worth attending for the chance to actually test-drive vehicles rather than view them behind barriers, alongside live music, food trucks, and a large kids zone.
Show Highlights
Electrify Expo covers over 1 million square feet of festival experiences where you can feel the thrill of Hybrids, EVs, E-Motorcycles, E-Bikes, and E-Scooters on multiple demo courses, with robots, flying cars, e-UTVs, freestyle motocross, and a huge kids zone; amazing food and a world-class DJ keep attendees energized, all entirely outdoors.
New and signature zones for 2026 include:
- Robotics Showcase — a hands-on zone featuring everything from humanoids to home service, cleaning, delivery, and companion robots.
- Aerial Mobility Showcase — a glimpse into a future where commuting doesn't just happen on the road, but in the sky.
- Terrain Park — a purpose-built off-road course for trucks, SUVs, and crossovers, with a 3-4 minute ride-along through hill climbs, articulation mounds, side tilts, and switchbacks.
- Adventure Track — a dirt course built for UTVs and side-by-sides with hairpin turns, steep climbs, and uneven terrain.
- Hands-Free Zone — plus a closed E-Motorcycle Trials Course open to both non-licensed and licensed riders.
- EV Reality Check Zone powered by GreenCars — a live expert stage. The festival also features Showoff custom vehicle displays and an Outdoor Rec zone.

History
Electrify Expo was created to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles by providing demo ride experiences, and with over 1 million square feet it has become North America's largest and #1 EV event platform. The show has transformed how people discover, shop for, and experience electric transportation, growing from a bold concept into the world's largest electric vehicle and e-mobility festival that now attracts enthusiasts, families, and first-time EV shoppers.
A major milestone came ahead of the 2026 season, when Electrify Expo expanded into the Demo Days Festival — all vehicles, no restrictions. It now operates as a dedicated premium EV and hybrid zone within the broader Demo Days event. For 2026, the tour added three new locations — San Diego, Philadelphia, and Atlanta — with Portland among the featured stops.
