GM and Honda Partner to Deliver Affordable and Desirable EVs on a Global Scale

Chevrolet EV models, like the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV, have already made quite the splash in Buffalo. But the future is about to be even more electrified, thanks to an announced GM and Honda partnership. These automakers are teaming up to streamline, among other things, the production of GM and Honda batteries for the purpose of producing a more affordable EV lineup.

What the GM and Honda Partnership Means for Cheektowaga Drivers

The Ultium Battery Platform – The Key to More Affordable EV Models

At the core of the GM and Honda partnership is Honda’s interior and exterior designs and GM’s Ultium battery platform. This battery platform is significantly less expensive to manufacture. And, as long as GM and Honda batteries are economically produced, it is far easier to make an affordable EV. In fact, two Honda EV models, coming out in 2024, are already being built with the Ultium battery platform and being assembled in GM factories. The new lineups of affordable EV models produced under the partnership will be released in 2027.

The Current Chevrolet EV Lineup

Thanks in part to the Ultium platform, the current Chevrolet EV models are already pretty affordable compared to EVs produced by other automakers. Here’s a list of the current Chevy EV lineup:

• 2022 Bolt EV – $31,500 starting MSRP
• 2022 Bolt EUV – $33,500 starting MSRP
• Upcoming Silverado EV – $39,900 starting MSRP (available to be reserved)

What’s more? An Equinox EV is also in the works. It will likely hit showrooms in the fall of 2023.
