President-Elect Joe Biden Praises Genovation GXE Electric Corvette: Video
Sponsored Links
In a campaign ad released back in the summer, president-elect Joe Biden said he was eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new electric Corvette variant capable of going over 200 mph. This fueled speculation that Biden had the scoop on a secret new battery-electric Corvette from General Motors, but it’s more likely that he was referencing the C7 Corvette-based Genovation GXE.
We’ve covered the Genovation GXE quite extensively on this site in the past. The GXE is essentially a C7 Corvette Z06 that has been converted into a pure electric supercar. It’s powered by two electric motors mounted on the rear axle, which produce a combined output of 800 horsepower and 700 pound-feet of torque, while juice for the motors comes from a 60-kWh lithium-ion battery. The maximum estimated driving range is around 175 miles and Genovation claims it’s capable of reaching a top speed of 220 mph.
Genovation recently used some of Biden’s past statements on the GXE as part of a new advertisement for the converted electric Corvette. In the voice clip used in the promo video, Biden praises the vehicle and says it is evidence of America’s ongoing automotive engineering prowess.
“I can’t wait to get a seat behind that all-electric Corvette that goes 210 mph,” Biden says in the voiceover. “If ya’ll think I’m kidding, I mean it. Last year the converted Corvette set a speed record of 210.1 mph. An electric vehicle. So don’t tell me we don’t still make the best cars here in the United States of America.”
While the engineering behind the Genovation GXE is certainly impressive, it doesn’t come cheap. The Maryland -based company charges $750,000 for the GXE, and that’s not including the cost of the donor car. Biden has made his desire to put more electric vehicles on American roads clear, but near-$1 million supercars aren’t going to move the needle, so that’s where vehicles like the Chevy Bolt EV and Cruise Origin will come in. That said, vehicles like the GXE help get the public excited about the prospect of future EVs that may be more within their price range.
Hear what Biden had to say about the Genovation GXE in the short 46-second clip embedded below.

You would not desire me as a moderator; Apparently my Knowledge would make: [high testosterone folks] would club me out of a forum!
Quid Pro Jo Jo does what his teleprompter says, if he can read it… pathetic arrogant blow hard…
Biden is a commie plant, and doesn’t even know it. Why would you even associate yourselves with this moron? So much for GM Authority
I am sorry for your loss
After Listening to mr.-elect: if Chevrolet makes this car: they would COPY the REGARA!! But the regara is at 1,500hp, about 1,200 torque! But if you look at the REGARA’S content engineering under it’s shell; The corvette don’t even come close to that country’s tech! So if this GRAND COUNTRY wants to keep up w/EUROPEAN’s scope of their ideas:………!
The Ford Mustang Mach-E has 1,400 HP and cost much less than this GXE Corvette.
What is so funny is Joe is eagerly waiting for?
By getting elected he will never again drive in public roads. Once one is elected the never drive in public again. They only drive on private property such as Bush and Reagan did on their ranches. Some like Clinton never get behind the wheel again.
From here on out Zoe is restricted to his driveway in his Vette. To be honest he may have already been since he was VP already.
the thing i’ve seen trump drive is a golf cart.
Lol…e-golf cart.
C8.R
Reason being, the Secret Service can’t protect Joe Biden in a small 2 seat sports car.
But
Half the country voted for Joe Biden, and wouldn’t want any harm to come to him. The other half are racist pricks. If they do anything to Joe Kamala Harris becomes President. He’ll be safe for all 8 years he spends as President.
The only prick on here is you… You’re a coward and you cannot refute what anyone says so you immediately start calling folks a racist… YOU are the racists and a coward. You’re a prick and a very little one at that…. tool…
Xjug
Look at you, talking in complete sentences. atta boy.
I am sorry for your loss
Nobody voted for Biden you f****** idiot you must have the discernment and critical thinking of a house.
Steaming Turd wasn’t on the ballot; There was only Joe, and TRump….
We are sorry for your loss
To the person calling themselves “Truth teller”
The rightwing troll sight “NewsMax” clarified their position on Voting machines yesterday. It’s a short 2 minute clip basically saying: No Voter Fraud has been found.
Go look that up before you make more of a fool of yourself.
Keep reading the talking points…Russia Russia Russia.. coward
Xjug
I bet I could grow some killer bud using what’s in your head as fertilizer.
Woah! Calm down Jamal!
How stupid this somewhat do you have to be to think that Biden got 80 million votes when he can’t even get 400 people to tune into a live stream
On November 7th, right after all the REAL NEWS networks called it for Biden, there was dancing in the streets and impromptu car parades in every major American city. That’s more than a win for Biden. That’s a complete repudiation of Trump and his policies.
Coward… truth hurts huh…:-)
@Xjug Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if you work for the Russian government. Trying to divide Americans like this. ESPECIALLY in a vehicle forum. Pathetic. We want unity. NOT division and you’re not helping! What a COWARD!
Xjug
What hurts? I think you have your cranium stuck way too high up your rectum.
No real car enthusiast should ever run for such an office. When he was VP I think the Secret Service let him drive his Vette once, and he was closely followed by a bunch of Suburbans.
Steve D,
Times change. When Barack Obama became President his Blackberry was taken away for National Security reasons. Donald Trump tweeted all through his presidency even when most Republicans wanted to break his thumbs.
President Biden will be kick starting the whole EV industry. Closing off race tracks and airport runways won’t be a problem.
Yes, Peter G., sadly things are changing. We are becoming an autonomous nation. Everyone will have the same, despite what you do with your life. No individuality. We are losing our freedom of speech, and everything is being censored. Kind of sounds like communist China.
I, as a car enthusiast, enjoyed an occasional track day. Helps keep me more civil on the public roads.
Hey, have we really considered this autonomous vehicle stuff? looking how some people drive on our highways, how would they be able to deal with all vehicles driving at the speed limit?
Think he already was restricted, on Jay lenos garage he drove on private property driveway. Worth watching just to see his word salads
He’ll probably be dead after his first term. The guy will be 80 in two years and the position has clearly aged the former presidents a lot faster. Hopefully he can enjoy his vette while he can
Cool car. I’ll wait for the electrified V8 though.
*C8
Deranged Trumpers are desparately reaching out to anyone who will listen to their garbage conspiracy theories and Trump was their voice.Now he is going to the golf course and they are freaking out.Sad and pathetic.
Really? I voted for Trump and I’ve done none of those things. I think you think you know more than you actually know…as a wise man once said.
This pathetic man destroyed the auto industry. Who would ever listen to him? He and his horrible friends that may be in office will throw more taxes at the public than any known sitting President. Also, all the manufacturing jobs will be lost in the next couple years and oil & gas are going to drastically increase so better hold onto your money while you can.
Remember: “I don’t work for you” – Sleepy Joe
I am sorry for your loss
Please don’t post crap like this. No one likes Biden. He’s a crook and brain dead body that got illegally elected.
Whew!…that was close!
I am sorry for your loss.🍊😔
A few of you guys must be lost. This an automotive enthusiast website. You belong on some alphabet soup website hating America, discussing kale recipes and driving your crossover suv with a mask on. I don’t care. Guys like me don’t care. Problem is I love this country, freedom and not being a sheep. Guys like me believe in individualism, self reliance, personal responsibility and liberty. I don’t mind if people disagree, don’t care if they feel as strongly opposite. The difference is I’ll never scream, protest and burn a city down because I’m disgruntled.
After J Biden cleans out Everyone’s Bank Account and Retirement Savings to cover the National Debt, Quid Pro Joe crime family will be the only ones who can afford one.
I am sorry for your loss.🍊😔
Good old joe, gives the taxpayers a dollar and takes two for himself. Been do that for a long time
Screw him and his plug in corvette
I am sorry for your loss.🍊😔
Sleepy Joe behind the wheel?! Everyone off the streets! Somebody take away his keys, please. He will definitely forget the way home. He thinks HUD is tele-prompter.
I am sorry for your loss.🍊😔
the nut jobs are out in force today!!! Q must’ve had a drop this morning.
I wonder if Covid causes laryngeal diarrhea in Trumpers ?
these bottom of the barrel trumpers always had it. trump just made them proud to be ignorant.
Not to over-generalize or anything, obviously. Nothing like a little insulting to rally people behind your candidate…you people are all so sad and disappointing, both sides.
Lotta Stockholm syndrome victims on here begging for Joe Biden to sell out the Country and give away any future prosperity.
Beggin to be literal slaves…serfs in a NWO.
Literally begging for it it’s so disgusting to me
Looks like all the deranged Trumpers are on this site.Joe won and your Russian enabler guy lost.America will now treat Russia like the enemy that they are again.Under Trump I have paid more taxes than under any other President so your logic is stupid.Good for Joe liking the electric cars,I work in a copper mine and the price of copper is rocketing upwards now.I personally love gas guzzling V8 engines but their time is close to the end.Lots of jobs will be made in America due to electric cars and trucks.Made in the USA can come back to life again after Reagan killed it.
Bulls*** and f*** jim crow joe biden, because he is worse for the black community than any other in american history
I assume your white but anyways… I am sorry for your loss.🍊😔
@Marcus it is “I assume you’re white” like as in “your are.” When you use “your” you are referring to ownership. Oh, an education is a terrible thing to waste.
Because you don’t make spelling errors! Here: *You’re You happy now. Regardless you missed the point. Typical. Ignoring the entire point. I garrentee that you’ve never experienced racism and I doubt that you know who Jim Crow is. You can blame my “poor education” on Betsy DeVos and Zoom School.
I wonder what will all these Biden lovers do when Trump is out of office on Jan 20th, 2021. They are so bored now!. Probably they will abandon this web site and read more on Trump’s golf game.
trump never goes away. he is like herpes.
Get some meds for your Trump derangement syndrome you got a bad case😂😂😂🤷♂️
We’re going to watch Trump get dragged out of office then go days without hearing what crazy thing the president did today.
By whom will President Trump be dragged by? Liberals cowards? You’re a joke as is Quid Pro Jo Jo the Chinese Monkey and his crack head punk kid…
The FBI or secret service. Trust me. They’re not going to deal with that bull crap.
Let’s not be racist also. How bout that?
You won’t find me defending xjug (he’s a complete idiot well outside of his politics, and this is coming from a conservative)…but if you could – where’s the racism? I don’t see any. Tends to be way overused as a cop-out or deflection these days.
“Chinese monkey”
Joe Biden is white. Irish, specifically.
Don’t know where Xjug is getting his info but he’s probably on something. I’m just quoting from him. I agree that calling people racist (such as most police) is loosely thrown around but hopefully we can all agree that referring anyone to a monkey is highly offensive.
I was just watching Days of Thunder today and the NASCAR boss called Tom Cruise and the other driver who kept crashing into each other monkeys and they’re both White…. is that highly offensive?
You’ve bought into this new identity politics race-baiting intersectionality hyper sensitivity bullcrap.
Most times calling people a monkey is because they’re acting like a monkey has nothing to do with throwing racial Epitaphs around.
Cool
Except the thing I’m offending is definitely racial from (of corse) Xjug who referred people as a Chinese monkey. I’m fine with people calling each other a monkey like in Days of Thunder but just not as a racial slur such as how Xjug is using it.
Howard Cossell’ ghost disagrees.
Trump will go away….at least to prison after all of his crimes…God willing.
Gosh Josh… you’re a moron… keep drinking the kook aide…. tool….
Josh it sounds like you have a bad case of trump derangement syndrome because most people based in reality have figured out that after five separate investigations if there was any criminality to Trump they would have found it already he’s probably the most investigated person on Earth and you still keep crying about some conspiracy theory crimes you think he’s committed… what are these crimes?
Or you just want to live in some fascist totalitarian regime where political opponents are thrown in the hoosegow
I think it’s kinda weird that just before they’re about to wrap up a case, some major FBI official gets fired. He also has enough money where he can bribe people and threaten them. He also has his boyfriend Putin over in Russia which will gladly cover things up and then some. Of corse not to mention all the horrible things he has done to woman and little girls made possible in part by his best friend Jeffrey.
Joe Biden is Jim Crow?Wow man,I guess you are deranged also.Trump tried to turn our democracy into an autocracy,the voters soundly rejected his arse.He can take his Cheezit tan to the golf course where he spent pretty much all of his time and hopefully an alligator catches his 400 pound arse.
Josh, please explain to the informed, HOW President Trump did what you just said? BTW dingus, we are NOT a Democracy, we are a Representative Republic, there is a huge difference, but you just repeat every thing you hear on CNN…. D/B…
xjug,
“Representative republic” is redundant, that’s like saying “cold cooling.” We’re a constitutional, democratic Republic, not a democracy,
You and josh should get a room, you’re both weak and pitiful individuals. So sad to see this site come to this. That’s all, now downvote me to hell.
I’D PAY TO SEE THAT!!!😂
Hahaha, so would I. But it’d have to come with a waiver of some kind lol
Xjug seems to be off his meds,or meth.My mom lives 300 miles away from me you moron.I am betting on meth being Xjug’s meds.
he is still mad obamacare doesn’t cover medical grade meth.
You’re disgusting pandering to basement Biden is so revolting I’m blocking your website now.
WHY?
Why did you have to ruin it?
It looks like Trump derangement syndrome is Alive and Well in the comment section looking at you Josh🤦♂️😬😂
what about me?????
Damn it seems like I have hurt the deranged Trumpers feelings…not sorry.Keep.peddling your untrue garbage conspiracy theories to a wall because all of us sane people aren’t listening to you anymore.You LOST!Face it.
Russia Russia Russia, Ukraine… conspiracy theories, huh… Josh, your mom is calling you to get off her computer…. you keep affirming my comment that ALL liberals and DemoRats are “cowards”… liars, cowards, cheats and thieves…
you remind me of that japanese soldier who refused to surrender after world war 2. he couldn’t believe japan had lost. so he lived 29 years on a philipine island and continued to fight the war.
you and the remaining trumpers deserve the hiroo onoda/rick astley “never gonna give you up” award for 2020. congratulations.
Russia Russia Russia… we listened to you pathetic cowards for 4 years, gfy! You’re going to hear more… coward
hiroo –
don’t give up. the emperor sends his gratitude and thanks for your loyalty. please don’t forget to donate to the trump pac. make sure you have sufficient funds this time. last check bounced.
domo arrigato
sincerely, mr roboto
you remind us of one of those joos that policed and managed the other joos in the concentration camp for the nazis so they didn’t have to get their hands dirty,….the joos that kept the others joos in line,…..that’s who you remind me of.
I am sorry for your loss.🍊😔
