RIGHT in the heart of all the action in Long Beach, California, the first-ever Electrify Showoff stole the show on May 19-21 amidst the hustle and bustle of OEM EV manufacturers, aftermarket EVs specialists, and retrofit specialists’ exhibits. This incredible custom car show featured an impressive lineup of about 110 EVs. But it was not trade and business. Local EV enthusiasts brought out the big guns with a wide variety of modified Teslas, converted classics, e-bikes and trikes, and even purpose-built electric cars designed specifically for motorsports.

Some seriously influential figures stole the spotlight at Electrify Expo. One of them was none other than Ryan Basseri of Rywire Motorsport Electronics. He brought the heat with two of his electric conversions, including his jaw-dropping S2000, a project that made waves at SEMA in 2022. This beauty caught everyone’s attention with its discreetly modified exterior and intriguing deleted exhaust openings.
