General Motors has pulled the wraps off of the BrightDrop EV410 electric delivery van, which offers many of the same features and advantages of the larger BrightDrop EV600 van, only in a smaller mid-sized package.
Compared to the BrightDrop EV600, the EV410 has a shorter wheelbase of just over 150 inches and a length of under 20 feet. It also boasts 400 cubic feet of cargo space, an available GVWR of just under 10,000 pounds and an estimated battery-electric range of around 250 miles. As a reminder, the EV600 is 24 feet long and has a cargo capacity of 600 cubic feet. GM has not yet confirmed the length of the EV600’s wheelbase.
GM also announced today that Verizon will be the first customer to integrate the BrightDrop EV410 into its fleet, although it did not say how many vehicles the telecoms company has ordered. The electric utility van will be deployed in Verizon’s national maintenance and service fleets in late 2023.
“Well-suited for faster, smaller payload deliveries or as a service vehicle — from online grocery delivery to telecom maintenance — the EV410 offers versatility for a myriad of use cases and expands zero-emissions driving to companies like Verizon, helping them meet their sustainability goals while opening new and exciting markets for BrightDrop,” the automaker said of the new utility van.
The van will also come equipped with a wide variety of standard active safety features, including Front and Rear Park Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, IntelliBeam Automatic High Beams and an HD Rear Vision Camera. Additional available safety features include Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Reverse Automatic Braking and HD Surround Vision, among more.
Production of the BrightDrop EV410 will take place alongside the larger EV600 at the GM CAMI Assembly plant in southern Ontario. Production of the EV600 is slated to begin at the CAMI site late next year, while production of the EV410 is not expected to begin until sometime in 2023.

There is a huge market for many different sized BrightDrop vans, huge new growth business for GM…
I think this will be the higher volume model of the two Brightdrop vans as it’s aimed directly at the larger Ford E-Transit models and the Rivian Prime Van but also has a longer range than both.
Man GM has hit this Bright Drop Business out of the Park.
Let’s get into the RV business! This looks similar to my old Southwind motor home!
This is for day’s work and night back at base, charging.
For a RV you would need a larger and heavier battery eating up the space you want to have for your recreation.
A fuel cell producing the electricity while you drive might be the solution.
I think the problem may be payload capacity. Looks like 2200lbs, or about 2/3rds of a transit van. And some of the transits will go as high as 5000lb payload. Batteries are heavy and eat into payload. GVWR is not very insightful in this context.
These are single rear wheel, I would imagine a dual rear wheel will come later with higher payload.
I’d love to use this thing as a camping van. Unfortunately for me the range is not enough, I figure about 125 miles or less when loaded out as a camper. Out here in the west that’s not enough for what I need. My dream van would be the same van and electric motors but with a battery about half the size. With the savings in cost, weight and space I’d install a small ICE driven range extender that would allow about 40-50 miles all electric or unlimited range when the range extender is turned on, and at the same price as the battery only version.
Overlanding with this rig would be much better if they made it AWD.
I’m a native of Colorado. Make mine a basement model (P-Chassis) , get me a range of say 200 miles recharge at most campsites at night and this is money! Any Tesla Coils laying around? Lol…
So that’s what gm was going to do with all the Bolt batteries that they are removing…..
They are recycled. Lithium batteries are highly recyclable. LG Chem is giving them credits for the failed ones.
I hope they will sell a mid-size (hopefully affordable) HUMMER EV too. Please, GM?
L Kimura . The Ev410 and EV600 are AWD . Due to weight and the limited
Power of wheel motors .
My question is . Any passenger seat options for the EV410 ?
How much it costs?
