The annual SEMA Show will be expanding its Electrified section this year to highlight vehicle electrification trends and technologies.
The specialized exhibit area, located in the North Hall, is set to include new products and solutions for EV platforms and conversions, according to a news release from SEMA.
“The EV aftermarket is evolving quickly and continues to change; we’re curating a unique collection of the latest products related to electric vehicles and the aftermarket,” said Tom Gattuso, SEMA vice president of events.“ SEMA Electrified will help businesses see the latest trends and understand how the EV market has evolved. Visitors will gain an understanding of the advancements and opportunities for the future."
Although alternative powertrains currently represent just 1 percent of the 250 million cars, SUVs, and light-duty trucks in operation on American roads, sales and interest in EVs are increasing rapidly.
According to recent SEMA Market Research, the electric market includes several areas of opportunity for the aftermarket, including the development of parts and products to aid in the conversion of older internal-combustion vehicles; building and modifying new project, racing, and purpose-built vehicles; and expertly accessorizing new OEM electric offerings.
SEMA is dedicated to helping its member companies identify those opportunities and adapt to the growing segment of the industry.
The 2022 SEMA Show will take place November 1-4 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas.
