The inaugural awards spotlight emerging and established automakers as they
introduce all-new electric and hybrid vehicles and new zero-emission versions
of existing models. From Fisker's Ocean, to Ford's F-150 Lightning, to
Porsche's Taycan—the ZEV market is gaining strong momentum. With the LA Auto
Show being the place for shoppers to discover, test, and determine their next
ride, it's no surprise that the LA Auto Show attendees' interest in ZEVs has
increased by 79 percent during the past 15 months (source: June 2021 LA Auto
Show Consumer Attendee Survey).
"Electrification is the biggest transformation the auto industry has
experienced in 100 years," said Lisa Kaz, CEO and owner of the LA Auto Show.
"With accelerating consumer interest in electric vehicles, there is no better
place for the new car and truck buyer to learn about, experience and compare
the latest and greatest electric vehicles and gas-powered models all in one
convenient place."
A pioneer in supporting consumer adoption and education of electric vehicles,
the LA Auto Show is a leader in showcasing the crossroads of the automotive and
technology sectors. THE ZEVAS program will take place on Wed., Nov. 17 at the
annual AutoMobility LA -- the LA Auto Show's two-day press and trade event
attracting automakers, tech companies, media, government officials, among other
industry professionals. THE ZEVAS will honor the best zero-emission vehicles in
a variety of categories including Adventure, Family, Ridesharing, Personal
Commuter, Workhorse, and more. Many nominees and award winners will be on
display during this November's much-anticipated return of the LA Auto Show.
Recognizing the ever-growing support for zero-emission vehicles from the
private and public sector -- federal, state, and city -- LA Auto Show's timely
ZEVAS awards program comes to the scene at a pivotal point for the automotive
industry with President Biden's goal that half of all vehicles be zero emission
by 2030 (
), and California targeting all vehicle sales to be zero-emission by 2035.
Additionally,
Los Angeles is currently the top U.S. market for new electric and hybrid
vehicle sales (source: Pew Research (
