GM Ends Electric Brightdrop Vans, What’s Next For WZ?

The CBC tells us the story of GM to end electric van production in Canada. This is an interesting development considering just four days ago Target picked the Chevy Brightdrop for your next frontdoor delivery….

General Motors has confirmed it is ending production of its BrightDrop electric delivery vans at the CAMI Assembly plant in Ingersoll, leaving the future of the southwestern Ontario facility uncertain.

“These Bright Drop vans are a specialized electric delivery van for commercial customers and, quite simply, we just have not seen demand for these vehicles climb to the levels that we initially anticipated,” said Kristian Aquilina, GM Canada’s president and managing director, who was in Ingersoll for the announcement. “This has nothing to do with tariffs or trade. It’s simply a demand and a market-driven response.”

Is the Brightdrop really done? Is Target going to switch to our van? What does it all mean for Wentzville?
