From EV1 to Electrify Expo – John Martinson Takes the Stage
On Sunday, April 13, 2025, our President and Co-Founder, John Martinson, brought the real talk to Electrify Expo’s “EV Reality Check” panel in Phoenix.
Randi Bentia from Electrify Expo said it best:
“Your decades of experience, from leasing an EV1 in 2000 to hauling hay in a Rivian R1T today, brought so much real-world insight to our conversation. The audience loved hearing how you're helping new EV drivers feel confident through your statewide ride & drives, monthly EV rallies, and even off-road adventures. Appreciate everything you + your team at DRIVE Electric Arizona are doing to make EV education accessible across Arizona. And yes... range anxiety really is just a state of mind. 👏”
