Outdoor and indoor ride-and-drives will return with a brand-new indoor test track, including a 100,000-square-foot area featuring EV test drives and education, called Chicago Drives Electric.

"We've got a 100,000-square-foot indoor test track and I said it looks like we'll have six different manufacturers on there for people to take rides just like the old Jeep test track that's been around since 2005," said Dave Sloan, Co-GM of the Chicago Auto Show.

The show runs Feb. 11 through Feb. 20 at McCormick Place.
