If you’ve got the need for speed, the Duke Energy Convention Center is the place for you. The 36th annual Cincinnati Auto Expo is rolling into town, featuring the latest in cars, crossovers, EVs, SUVs, trucks and more.
The Expo is at the Duke Energy Convention Center, is managed and promoted by the Greater Cincinnati Automobile Dealers Assn. (GCADA), which represents 93 franchised new automotive dealerships. On Opening Night, Thursday, March 14, auto enthusiasts can enjoy $1 admission from 5 to 9 p.m.
One of the most popular features of the Expo is getting a new look this year. Electric vehicles have been booming in popularity and the Expo is making sure guests can get all their questions answered. New this year at the Expo is the EV Ride and Drive, featuring electric vehicles from Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, Hyundai, Kia and Mercedes-Benz. Drivers must be at least 18 with a valid license, and passengers must be at least eight years old. Register in the lobby of the Duke Energy Convention Center.
But even without getting behind the wheel, guests can experience the EV Showcase, which returns this year to provide guests an opportunity to learn more about the ever-growing EV market. Last year’s Showcase was one of the largest dedicated EV exhibits among national auto shows with 24 models representing nine manufacturers complemented by educational presentations about the ownership experience and home charging.
And if you’re wondering if Cincinnati can sustain this growing market – potential owners will be glad to find out there are 934 charging stations in the Cincinnati area
