ABOUT THE FAIR
The Electric & Hybrid Vehicles Technology Expo North America (EV Tech Expo) is North America's leading trade show and conference for battery and e-mobility technologies. Held annually, the event highlights the latest developments in electric and hybrid drive systems. Traditionally hosted at Huntington Place in Detroit, Michigan, the expo takes place in a city with deep-rooted ties to the automotive industry—now rapidly transforming into a hub for innovation in electric mobility.
The event is organized by Informa PLC, a globally active event organizer with extensive industry expertise. Informa is known for developing trade shows at strategic intersections of industry and for creating platforms that foster global knowledge exchange, networking opportunities, and technological advancement.
What sets the EV Tech Expo apart is its comprehensive focus on the entire technology lifecycle of e-mobility—from battery cells and material chemistry to power electronics, thermal management, recycling solutions, and regulatory frameworks. Key topics include emerging battery technologies, intelligent battery management, supply chain resilience, manufacturing strategies, market outlooks, environmental standards, and sustainable innovations.
Exhibitors showcase highly specialized products and services, including battery components, drive systems, control electronics, charging solutions, and software for battery and fleet management. These technologies are relevant not only to vehicle manufacturing, but also to stationary energy systems, portable devices, and industrial applications.
A standout feature of the expo is the live product demonstrations, where attendees can experience new technologies in action. The exhibition is further enhanced by product unveilings, interactive formats, and innovation showcases that offer practical solutions to the industry's current challenges.
Participating companies represent a broad cross-section of the sector, including automotive manufacturers, battery developers, materials suppliers, engineering service providers, research institutions, and technology innovators. The audience is primarily composed of engineers, technical decision-makers, product developers, and executives from the automotive, electrical, and energy industries.
The EV Tech Expo North America is part of a global event series with additional editions in Europe and Asia, serving as a key platform for international exchange in the field of e-mobility. The North American edition plays a particularly prominent role, not least due to its strategic location in Detroit—a city that embodies the shift from traditional vehicle manufacturing to an electrified future.
Huntington Place offers ideal conditions for the event, featuring state-of-the-art exhibition infrastructure, spacious halls, and a prime location on the Detroit River. Its excellent connectivity to Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) and the public transportation network makes it easily accessible for both domestic and international visitors—an ideal meeting point for the e-mobility industry of tomorrow.
The Electric & Hybrid Vehicles Technology Expo North America will take place on 4 days from Monday, 12. October to Thursday, 15. October 2026 in Detroit.
