GM confirms it will offer an all-electric Corvette sports car (Detroit Free Press)

General Motors is confirming what President Joe Biden told the world about 18 months ago: There will be an all-electric Corvette.

Cadillac's boss has said the brand lineup will be nearly all-electric by 2030. A person familiar with production of the Corvette at GM's Bowling Green Assembly in Kentucky told the Free Press that there were indeed plans for an all-electric version. GM has said it will have an all-electric lineup across its brands by 2035, with Cadillac being the lead brand for that technology. In it, he says, "They tell me that GM is making an all-electric version of its iconic sports car that will go 200 mph." In an 80-second campaign spot posted on Biden's Twitter account in August 2020, Biden talked about his love of the Corvette and the American car market.

As for the Ultium’s battery energy recovery system, is this just a glorified, verbose way of describing a heat pump? The Ultium Platform can then deploy energy stored through the recovery process to heat the cabin more quickly in cold weather than comparable systems found in vehicles with an internal combustion engine. 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.

Analysis: Why GM is Electrifying the C8 Corvette (Car and Driver)

Chevy has to keep up with the competition, and the hybrid and electric 'Vettes have the potential to deliver tremendous power and performance.

The revisions include the need to package the large battery required to provide both massive power and reasonable driving range; fitting two electric motors in the rear; and packaging the Ultium battery. While the project is no doubt well underway, we expect a C8 EV to appear around 2024 as a 2025 model at the earliest. Reuss stated that the hybrid 'Vette will be out “next year.” We expect that that means late in 2023 as a 2024 model. Rumor has it that the C8 hybrid was not expected to be able to drive solely on electric power, though that might have changed by now and it might be able to move on electrons for short distances at lower speeds. The Corvette C8 was designed from the outset to include a hybrid model. GM president Mark Reuss has just gone public with what we’ve known for some time: that a hybrid C8 Corvette will be here next year.
