The Los Angeles Auto Show is revving up excitement once again with the return of its standout award program, THE ZEVAS™. As one of the pioneering events to spotlight zero-emission vehicles, THE ZEVAS has become a highly anticipated part of the auto industry calendar. This year’s edition promises to shine an even brighter spotlight on electric and hybrid cars, underscoring the auto industry’s rapid shift toward greener solutions.
Debuting in 2021, THE ZEVAS was the first award of its kind to let consumers decide the winners in categories like top sedans, trucks, and the most anticipated EVs. With a lineup that has previously included heavyweights like the Rivian R1T, Tesla Model Y, and Hyundai KONA Electric, the 2024 awards are set to elevate even more cutting-edge electric vehicles.
