GM is electrifying its iconic sports car, the Chevrolet Corvette, GM President Mark Reuss announced Monday.
Reuss wrote in a LinkedIn post that GM moved the Corvette team into the electric vehicle space at the automaker's Warren tech campus.
The electric Corvette, 4-wheel drive based on GM's new Ultium EV platform, will be offered as early as next year,
Reuss said. Names and additional details on the product will be released at a later date, he added.
Chevrolet released a teaser video about 30 seconds long of the electric Corvette that shows how quietly it can perform.
Reuss said the automaker will continue to produce traditional models with internal combustion engines alongside the electrified models.
He declined to disclose when the all-electric Corvette would be released, or whether the “electrified” model would be a traditional hybrid or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.
Yes, in addition to the amazing new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and other gas-powered variants coming, we will offer an electrified and a fully electric, Ultium-based Corvette in the future.
In addition, we also announced today Ultium Platform’s energy recovery system, a patented onboard system that takes the heat generated by EV batteries and uses it to warm the cabin, create more efficient charging conditions, and even increase vehicle acceleration.
And it can boost the vehicle’s range by about 10%.
It’s a perfect example of how developing a ground-up EV platform like Ultium enables unique features not easily done with a retrofit.
