GM Says Electric Corvette Still Coming

In 2022, General Motors President Mark Reuss hinted on CNBC that a fully electric Corvette would eventually be part of the lineup. The statement was not accompanied by a launch date. Since then, no electric Corvette has appeared. The company says the model is still coming, though it has not yet been announced.

On The Drivecast, Tony Roma, the Executive Chief Engineer for Chevy Corvette and Performance Cars, said electric cars are the end game. He echoed Reuss’s earlier remarks, saying an electric Corvette will come someday. Roma emphasized that the company is still working toward that goal.

The current C8 generation of the Corvette is moving into its later stages, with the Grand Sport model now available. Two hybrid variants exist: the Grand Sport X, which replaced the E‑Ray, and the ZR1X, which has an electric motor positioned between the front wheels. These hybrids show GM’s current electrification strategy, but they are not fully electric.

Porsche’s CEO Michael Leiters has said the 911 will never become electric, a stance that contrasts with GM’s plans. The difference highlights how different automakers view electrification for iconic sports cars.

GM has not set a date for the electric Corvette. The company remains committed to delivering an all‑electric version in the future, but it is still awaiting the right time.
