On Aug, 24, Modus Engineering Wizard Tony D’Amore Will Be Part of a Panel Discussing the
Myths, Obstacles, and Solutions for Installing High-End Audio Solutions in Modern Electric Vehicles
Oxnard, Calif., Aug. 21, 2025 – Modus is proud to announce that their lead engineerTony D’Amore will be part of the panel discussion “EV Reality Check” during the upcoming Electrify Expo in San Francisco, held at Alameda Point Aug. 23-24. D’Amore will discuss the myths, obstacles, and solutions for installing high-end audio systems in modern electric vehicles with Matt Teske (Chargeway) and Dario Pagani (Autel Energy) on Aug. 24 at 1:30pm.
Modus will also have its award-winning 2024 Tesla Cybertruck build on display during the event.
“Electrify Expo is the ideal event to discuss how our technology is changing the idea that having a high-end audio system in today’s electric vehicles is not possible,” said D’Amore. “Our award-winning technology has achieved several industry firsts, and we are looking forward to discussing how we were able to execute those results. We will also educate the industry’s consumer and manufacturer sides on what solutions can be utilized and installed right now.”
The misconception that premium audio is merely a luxury add-on overlooks EVs' revolutionary potential. These vehicles offer something combustion engines never could: silent cabins paired with abundant electrical power, creating an unprecedented opportunity for truly immersive, audiophile-grade sound systems.
“At Electrify Expo, the EV Reality Check Stage was created to tackle and debunk the myths that slow the adoption towards electric vehicles,” said BJ Birtwell, CEO and founder of Electrify Expo. “It’s a place where skeptics, shoppers, and industry leaders come together to challenge assumptions and explore the practical benefits of going electric. We’re excited to welcome Modus to the stage in San Francisco as part of that mission, bringing fresh perspectives on how EVs deliver an unmatched user experience.”
The panel discussion points will include:
- Quiet Cabins Reveal the Music: EVs offer near silence and that exposes audio flaws more sharply than combustion vehicles ever could.
- PREACT Amplification Makes a Difference: Modus’s efficiency-driven amplification architecture enables high-output audio (such as 6,000 watts RMS in the Cybertruck) without drain or external batteries.
- Vehicle Architecture Dictates Design: The 48V systems in EVs make traditional audio installations obsolete. Innovators need to rethink power, packaging, and integration.
- Emotion Through Sound: Sculpting treble and bass performance gives drivers a visceral experience which lifts boring drives into memorable moments.
- Pro Installers Get It Right: Helping techs and dealers understand EV-specific audio needs is essential. You train teams to deliver consistent, high-impact installs.
The EV Reality Check Stage is where local experts speak on topics that matter to EV shoppers and skeptics alike: charging, range, cost, grid concerns, and more. The format is fast-paced and conversational, designed to feel like a live podcast. No slides or formal presentations, just real talk that helps the audience walk away informed.
