Electric vehicles will be taking center stage at the annual Chicago Auto Show, the first major convention center event of 2022 since omicron hit.
The Chicago Auto Show is back at McCormick Place for a 10-day run beginning Saturday — only seven months after a special pandemic-driven outdoor version — and the atmosphere inside the convention center is decidedly electric.
The new Subaru Solterra electric SUV on display Feb. 10, 2022, as the Chicago Auto Show returns to McCormick Place. Chicagoans will get their first in-person look at the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV pickup truck, which was unveiled last month at the CES in Las Vegas. The truck, which starts at $40,000 and is expected to launch in fall 2023, is General Motors’ answer to the F-150 Lightning — Ford’s first electric pickup truck — which made its debut last summer at the Chicago Auto Show.
The Ford F-150 Lightning is set to launch in the spring, starting at just under $40,000. Ford stopped taking reservations on the EV truck after reaching nearly 200,000 preorders, and is doubling production capacity to 150,000 vehicles to meet demand, the company said last month. But there is still plenty of gas-powered glory at the show, including the first look at the 400-horsepower Ford Bronco Raptor SUV. Among other features, the muscular-looking, rock-eating version at the top of the new-generation Bronco line features 37-inch tires, “the largest tire offered as standard equipment on a domestic production SUV,” said Arie Groeneveld, chief program engineer at Ford.
