ChargEVC Announces NJ’s Premier EV Showcase & Conference at American Dream

March 5, 2025

East Rutherford, NJ – ChargEVC announces New Jersey’s first-ever Electric Vehicle (EV) Showcase & Conference at American Dream from May 15-18, 2025. This groundbreaking event will bring together EV enthusiasts, EV curious, industry leaders, policymakers, technology companies, and utilities for four days of education, experiential learning, and networking in the heart of the Tri-State Metro Area.

It’s a great time to expose EVs to a broad audience. Polls reveal that many drivers in New Jersey are EV curious and would consider an EV for their next car. Today, there is a lot to see, with nearly 70 electric vehicle models available in the U.S. from 30 brands — and that number is expected to grow. A growing used EV market is also emerging, offering great value for drivers.

This event, held at American Dream, guarantees broad-based exposure. On a spring weekend, American Dream is expected to receive an audience of up to 80,000 visitors, providing an unparalleled experience for exhibitors, sponsors, and the public.

The EV exhibition and showcase will be free and open to the public, allowing attendees to experience and learn more about cutting-edge EV technology, charging solutions, and sustainable mobility solutions firsthand.

The event will feature a Public Showcase from May 17th to 18th, including:

  • An open exhibition featuring interactive exhibits designed to allow the public to explore and learn about EV-related technologies, including cars and how charging works.

  • Ride & Drive Experience: Attendees can test-drive the latest EV models.

Prior to the Public Showcase, May 15th and 16th will be set aside as Industry Days with panel discussions and networking opportunities for government officials, utilities, technology companies, fleet operators, and other industry professionals. Panel discussions will cover the future of transportation, including policy and infrastructure development, and will feature high-impact speakers. All attendees will receive an invitation to the VIP reception. A registration fee of $25 per attendee will apply for Industry Day panel participation, with additional details to follow.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with the leaders driving the future of transportation and see and experience the exciting new products.
