This episode of Batteries Included features an insightful conversation with BJ Birtwell, founder and CEO of Electrify Expo. The discussion highlights the growing interest in electric vehicles, even from initial skeptics, as evidenced by strong ticket sales for the upcoming Orlando event. Birtwell emphasizes that Electrify Expo is designed as an experiential event, allowing attendees to 'kick the tires' on a wide range of electric mobility options, from bikes and scooters to cars and watercraft. The expo aims to provide a 'light switch moment' for attendees, demystifying EVs and debunking common myths about range, charging, and cost. Key attractions for the Orlando expo include the debut of Can-Am's electric motorcycle, the Pulse, and the presence of major automakers like Tesla, Lucid, Rivian, Porsche, and Volvo, with new product reveals planned. The event also features dedicated zones for charging education, family activities, and simulators, underscoring its evolution into a comprehensive e-mobility festival. Birtwell expresses optimism about the increasing consumer demand for EVs and plug-in hybrids, predicting significant growth in the next two years.
