Get a first look at the new fascia, NACS charging port, and brake lights on the Bolt, with Chevy promising “More this fall.”
GM killed the Bolt in 2023 before resurrecting it for its newer Ultium battery tech (which... it’s also killing, at least as a brand name). The new Bolt will boast faster charging and multiple models, but that won’t include a small hatchback — only the larger EUV Bolt is making a comeback.
We’re barely recovered from meeting the 2025 Corvette ZR1, and now Chevrolet has announced a regenerative hybrid variant (no plugging in here), dubbed the ZR1X. This 2026 Corvette model takes the E-Ray’s EV modes and all wheel drive setup, turns up the horsepower, and puts it in a package with the ZR1’s LT7 V8, along with some other tweaks for maximizing performance on the road or the track.
This ‘true American hypercar’ with 1,250 horsepower will go from zero to 60 mph in under two seconds, GM estimates. No price announced yet.
We knew the new Corvette was fast, but we didn’t know it’d be this good.
It turns out it takes a little Fortran to make a faster Corvette.
After trying to make BrightDrop work as a standalone brand, GM has decided it will have a happier home among the Silverados and Camaros at Chevy. GM reabsorbed BrightDrop last year, citing “effeciencies,” and now its assigning it to Chevy in order to tap into the brand’s “broad commercial vehicle sales and service dealer network.” Chevy dealers will be able to sell BrightDrop’s 400 and 600 electric vans, as well as the fleet management software and other products.

The lyrics to Hole’s Malibu, but also a fitting coda for the Chevy Malibu, that is ending production later this year. GM says it will shift resources to EVs, but you know it and I know it, it’s just another sedan sacrificed on the alter of big trucks and SUVs.
Chevy dealers are already catching flack from customers for GM’s decision to remove popular phone-mirroring services Apple CarPlay and Android Auto from their lineup of EVs. Maybe it would have gone down better if their native infotainment software didn’t immediately shit the bed, resulting in a stop-sale order for the Chevy Blazer EV? Just sayin.
Verge contributor Kevin Williams has a harrowing tale about his first test ride of the new Chevy Blazer EV in InsideEVs. First, the infotainment display disappeared. Then it came back but started flashing. Then the instrument cluster crapped out. And after plugging into a fast charger, the whole thing just kind of gave up.
I’m supposed to be getting the Blazer EV in a few weeks, and now I’m a little nervous! Do I need a chase car?
Another entry-level electric truck is no more. Today the embargo lifted on Chevy’s press junket in Ann Arbor to test out the upcoming Silverado EV, and while the power and range impressed many, the updated pricing information left a lot to be desired. The originally promised $40,000 base model (available in 2024) is now set to start at $50,000. It’s almost as if announcing pricing a year or more before you start making deliveries is a totally useless exercise!
The Chevy Bolt’s demise underscores a trend toward larger, heavier, more expensive EVs. But the Bolt was always more practical than dramatic. And that’s why it will be missed.
It only took 70 years for the Corvette to find a little space for an electric motor. The new E-Ray is the first hybrid version of the eighth-generation sports car and the first to feature all-wheel drive.
We’ve already seen the upcoming “electrified” 2024 Corvette E-Ray thanks to accidentally leaked images. But now Chevy confirms the presence of an all-electric “Stealth Mode,” which is sure to further infuriate loud exhaust stans. The official reveal won’t come until January 17th, but until then enjoy this short snowy teaser.
GM says it sold 14,709 Bolt EVs and Bolt EUVs over the last three months, which is a record for the unassuming little hatchback. And with customer demand soaring, the automaker is boosting production by nearly 60 percent, from 44,000 to 70,000 for the calendar year. With an average sale price of over $65,000, the cheapest EV on the market is selling like hotcakes. What a shock, right?
The new midsize SUV, which starts at around $30,000, is intended to be an ‘EV for everyone’
Up to 400 miles of range and a price that starts at $39,900 for some buyers
