Workers at General Motors’ Factory Zero will get an extended Labor Day holiday, the company said, in order to make “temporary adjustments to production,” reflecting slowing demand for some of the automaker’s biggest battery-electric vehicles including the GMC Hummer and Chevrolet Silverado EV. More from Headlight.News.
A 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV has set a new world record, delivering 1,059.2 miles on a full charge. That’s more than twice the truck’s EPA-estimated range. What did it take to get there? Well, it took a lot of inspiration – and perspiration. Headlight.News has more.
Plagued by issues with supplier snags, battery production problems and glitchy software, General Motors has been slow to get its promised wave of new EVs to market. But it’s finally getting ready to roll the retail version of its Chevrolet Silverado EV into showrooms – at a steep price. The initial, limited-edition version of the battery pickup will start around $95,000 plus delivery fees.
Once again, GM is delaying production of some of its new battery-electric vehicles, this time announcing that production of the Chevrolet Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV pickups won’t start rolling out of the suburban Detroit Orion Assembly Plant until late 2025. But, as Headlight.News reports, limited numbers of Silverado EV commercial models are being produced at a second plant.
