New York International Auto Show EV Exhibition
The 2021 New York International Auto Show will play an important role in supporting one of New York State's top green energy priorities by focusing on electric vehicles. At this year's show, nearly an entire floor of the Javits Center will be dedicated to electric vehicles. The exhibition will feature a total of five indoor test tracks, giving show attendees the opportunity to experience first-hand the feeling of an all-electric vehicle. Nine manufacturers will be participating in this multi-brand demonstration, which is expected to introduce EVs to thousands of attendees. This special exhibition will host more than two dozen companies including the nine automakers, New York Power Authority, Charge NY, NYSERDA, and a number of home, mobile and curbside charging partners committed to consumer education and EV adoption. The Show will also present ten personal electric mobility companies to the public by featuring a wide range of two-wheeled electric vehicles for attendees to experience on controlled test tracks.
Given that 9 manufacturers will attend, I'd say the odds of Rivian being one them are pretty good, considering there aren't that many that actually sell EVs in the U.S. Here's my list of most likely candidates:
- Audi
- BMW
- Chevrolet/GMC/Cadillac
- Ford
- Hyundai/Kia
- Jaguar
- Lucid
- Nissan
- Porsche
- Rivian
- Tesla
- Volkswagen
- Volvo
