Community Insights from Electrify Expo 2025
On June 21-22, 2025, the Los Angeles County Clean Transportation & Energy Program (CTEP) participated in Electrify Expo at the Port of Los Angeles, one of the nation’s largest electric vehicle showcases. Over the course of the weekend, our team connected with hundreds of EV drivers, future adopters, and community members to share resources, answer questions, and gather valuable feedback.
As part of our outreach, we conducted surveys with more than 500 attendees to better understand EV ownership trends, barriers to adoption, and where residents would like to see more charging stations. This feedback plays a direct role in shaping how and where Los Angeles County prioritizes future EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) deployment.

Insights from events like Electrify Expo help ensure County investments in EV infrastructure align with real community needs. This event is one of many outreach efforts CTEP conducts year-round to raise awareness about EV benefits, share information on available incentives, and support the County’s transition to a cleaner, more connected transportation future.
Key Takeaway
The feedback collected at Electrify Expo 2025 directly informs where and how Los Angeles County deploys EV charging infrastructure, ensuring our investments meet the real needs of residents and support equitable access to clean transportation.
