The Silicon Valley Auto Show will be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center. 

Organizers say the event will showcase new vehicles and emerging automotive technologies in a non-selling environment.

A highlight of the show includes “Ride and Drive” stations, which offer attendees an opportunity to test drive plug-in hybrids, all-electric vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cell cars. 

Representatives will be on hand to explain the advantages of electric vehicles and advise prospective buyers on whether an EV would meet their needs.

Silicon Valley Power sponsored free admission for Santa Clara residents. But the allotment of free tickets has been given out.

Tickets may be purchased online at this website.

Show Dates and Times:

• Friday, February 21: 10 a.m.–8 p.m.
• Saturday, February 22: 10 a.m.–8 p.m.
• Sunday, February 23: 10 a.m.–6 p.m.
