The 117th edition of the Chicago Auto Show will be held Feb. 8-17 at McCormick Place. Showgoers can once again expect an engaging show with the latest new vehicles, outdoor ride-and-drives and indoor test tracks, including the return of Chicago Drives Electric, a one-stop shop for electric vehicle ride-alongs and education. “The Chicago Auto Show is a cherished winter tradition, and we can’t wait to once again welcome attendees to experience the thrill of the latest technology and safety features of today’s cars, trucks and SUVs,” said Chicago Auto Show Chairwoman Kelly Webb Roberts. “The vehicle offerings on the show floor are more diverse now than ever before. So, whether you’re looking for a sporty sedan, full-sized family car, electrified vehicle, off-roading wheels, luxury ride or something in between, you will certainly find it at the show.” The Chicago Drives Electric indoor EV test track will return, expanding from one track to two and providing attendees the opportunity to get inside the latest EVs to experience the power of electrified vehicles. In addition to the ride-alongs, consumers may visit the EV education hub to learn more about pressing EV topics, including at-home charging, range anxiety, maintenance and associated EV ownership costs. During the 2024 Chicago Auto Show, 71% of attendees who test drove or rode along in an EV at the show cited that their experience improved their opinion of owning an EV, and 53% of attendees who experienced an EV at the show said they were now more likely to purchase an electric vehicle. “Based on the research, we learned that once people experience an EV, they feel more comfortable with the idea of owning one,” said Chicago Auto Show General Manager Jennifer Morand. “We look forward to bringing this popular, educational and hands-on experience back indoors to the Chicago Auto Show.
