Chevrolet is an American automobile division of the manufacturer General Motors. Founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant, the brand was integrated into General Motors in 1918. Positioned as the volume leader for its parent company, Chevrolet offers a comprehensive lineup of vehicles ranging from compact cars to heavy-duty trucks and performance vehicles.
The brand has played a foundational role in the modern electrification of the automotive industry. Chevrolet introduced the Volt plug-in hybrid in 2010, followed by the Bolt EV in 2016. The Bolt EV marked a significant milestone as the first mass-market electric vehicle to deliver an EPA-estimated range exceeding 200 miles at an accessible price point, paving the way for broader consumer adoption of electric mobility.
Chevrolet is currently executing a comprehensive transition to fully electric vehicles utilizing the Ultium battery architecture developed by General Motors. This modular platform underpins a new generation of electric models, including the Silverado EV, Blazer EV, and Equinox EV. By electrifying its most popular and highest-volume nameplates, Chevrolet aims to scale electric vehicle production and achieve widespread market penetration.
