GM’s smart EV push — the delivery van! GM knows EV is the future and while they are still trying hard on the personal EV front, they found another market opening with few players. Here is the thing — deliveries are soaring. And those delivery vans have to be electrified too! GM saw the gap and is filling it with their Brightdrop EV600 electric vans. FedEx is already “in” on their initiative and would be the early adopter of these vans.
“…the all-electric EV600 promises a driving range of up to 250 miles on a full charge, far more than the forthcoming Ford E-Transit, which is slated to top out at a comparatively paltry 126 miles. Underscoring the EV600’s hardworking versatility, this van offers more than 600 cubic feet of cargo area…” — CNET
It remains to be seen how the EV600 does in comparison to Rivian, the electric van backed by Amazon. Given, most commercial operators will bulk order, both should survive just fine.
