General Motors’ Ultium battery platform isn’t just underpinning the 1000-hp GMC Hummer EV and the upcoming Chevrolet Silverado EV with its available 24-inch wheels, it’s also serving as the basis for something far more utilitarian: the BrightDrop EV600. First revealed last January, General Motors’ electric commercial van has now officially arrived, with BrightDrop’s first customer, FedEx, receiving five EV600s out of a total order of 500 late last week.
General Motors says that this makes the EV600 the “fastest built vehicles, from concept to market, in General Motors history.” As the name suggests, the electric van has more than 600 cubic feet of cargo space, and the Ultium batteries can provide a claimed range of up to 250 miles.
