If there’s one word to describe this weekend’s Silicon Valley Auto Show, it’s “electric.”
I talked to Brian Moody, an editor at Kelley Blue Book, in advance of the show, and he said the number of electric vehicles available on the market or on the way has grown tremendously since the last Silicon Valley Auto Show. “This area of the country is especially interested in electric cars,” he said, noting that while many full EVs are out of the average car shopper’s price range, there are plenty of more affordable ones that’ll be on display, too, — and some available for test drives.
And just so you don’t waste gas or electric miles heading to the show, produced by the Silicon Valley Car Dealers Association, make note that it’s in Santa Clara this year, not San Jose. Hours and tickets are available at www.svautoshow.com. Vintage autos begin to fill a room at the Santa Clara Convention Center, as the Spider Custom Cars section of the Silicon Valley Auto Show returns, Thursday, Feb. 16, 2023.
A Jeep Wrangler 4xe is positioned at the Silicon Valley Auto Show at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Thursday, Feb. 16, 2023. San Jose’s Tabard Theatre Company announced Wednesday it will close its doors after 22 years in April, following the final performance of its next production, “Once.”
