From Chula Vista to Anaheim: How the ZEV Fleet Electrification Showcase Proved Fleets Are Ready to Scale

The transition to zero-emission fleets is no longer a question of if - it’s a question of how fast. And this year’s ZEV Fleet Electrification Showcase, hosted at Anaheim Angels Stadium in 2025, made that message clear. With more than 500 fleet operators, utility partners, government agencies, and infrastructure experts in attendance compared to just over 250 the year prior in Chula Vista - the event wasn’t just bigger. It marked a significant shift in the urgency, scale, and sophistication of fleet electrification in California.

A Year of Growth: From Regional Awareness to Statewide Momentum

At the 2024 showcase in Chula Vista, the focus was on building awareness. The event featured a limited number of EV trucks, several local agency booths, and a growing curiosity from municipal and regional fleets exploring early-stage electrification.

In contrast, Anaheim 2025 was a turning point.

• Double the attendance: Over 500 attendees, up from 252 last year
• Expanded vehicle display: More than 70 zero-emission commercial vehicles—buses, trucks, vans, and off-road equipment
• Broader fleet participation: Transit, delivery, utility, construction, and school fleets from across California
• Diverse exhibitors and funders: 20+ infrastructure partners, incentive program reps, and OEMs providing hands-on demos and funding consultations
• Deeper conversations: Topics ranged from megawatt charging and depot design to strategies for meeting Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) mandates

This evolution reflects more than event growth—it signals a shift in mindset: fleets are no longer just exploring EVs. They're ready to scale—and need partners who can move as fast as they do.
