The 2025 Chevrolet BrightDrop will be the next product Pritchard EV will add to the California HVIP program.
BrightDrop EVs are the newest addition to the Chevrolet portfolio. The Chevrolet BrightDrop is an all-electric walk-in van for the commercial vehicle market. It is available in 2 models, the 400 and 600. It is estimated to offer a 272-mile combined city/highway range and advanced features to help keep the driver safe and alert.
