Chevy Colorado EV, GMC Canyon EV To Appear In 2026, Says Report
Sponsored Links
GM has already unveiled the full-size 2024 Chevy Silverado EV and has also confirmed that a GMC Sierra EV will eventually arrive, as well. The American automaker won’t stop there, though, as it also is rumored to have plans to introduce electrified Chevy Colorado EV and GMC Canyon EV mid-size pickups by 2026.
2024 Chevy Silverado EV
According to Automotive News, GM customers can “expect electric versions of GM’s midsize pickups in 2026,” which will be built at the Orion Assembly plant in Michigan and will “sell alongside the gasoline-powered models.” Further details on these alleged electrified mid-size trucks were not provided by the publication, however it seems likely they will use a variation of the automaker’s BT1 electric truck platform, as well as its Ultium battery technology and Ultium Drive electric motors.
GM will unveil the next-generation 2023 Chevy Colorado on July 28th and the 2023 GMC Canyon later this year, both of which will be powered by the automaker’s turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine. As the AN article points out, these gas-powered models will remain in production even after the rumored Chevy Colorado EV and GMC Canyon EV hit the market in 2026. This strategy mimics that of the upcoming Chevy Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV, which will be sold alongside their gasoline and diesel-powered equivalents.
The AN report also alleges the Chevy Colorado EV and GMC Canyon EV will be produced at the automaker’s Orion plant in Michigan, and not at the GM Wentzville plant in Missouri where the internal combustion engine models are built. The Orion plant is already well-suited to build EVs, as it currently produces the Chevy Bolt EV and Bolt EUV, and is also in line to receive a new battery module production line to support the production of future EV models.

not really interested in an EV truck. Very interested in a plug in hybrid. I do 95% of the driving, including the long distance driving in my household. Being able to save $$ on all my commute costs, but still be able to have the legs to take the family to the inlaws for holidays. That would be awesome.
All in a mid-size truck body though…
You’ll have to go outside of GM to get that. Leadership has stated no hybrids.
They better start listening to their customers soon.
I doubt this will happen. Any EV after 2024 should be questioned. The funding plug will be pulled next year and the regulations will be pulled in 2024
I want one. I’ll trade in my diesel Canyon. It will have to be a Denali. Or is it Denal E?
I would be interested in a hybrid but never an EV.
It will be interesting to see how the EV sells next to the cheaper ICE version.
One more step by GM leadership to totally destroy the company with misguided paths. Mary certainly has no clue as to the wants and needs of her “loyal” customers. Maybe by 2026 she will have the six features missing from my 2022 Sierra installed completing it’s assembly.
Stop pushing 24my & try to build a 22/23 complete ! With all options
I would trade my Volt for an EV Colorado in a second.
By 2026 Quantum charging, will make charging a 3 to 5 minute interval. Also the Diamond battery ( made from nuclear waste) will be sorted out, which has a life of 1000 years. And if they introduce four wheel regeneration Excessive heat from charging could be converted to refrigeration or heating via heat pump, which would be very useful up North, there is no excuse for not buying an EV anything.
All of your comments are “pie in the sky” since technology is not available for any of your points. Charging stations in remote areas are years down the road and current stations are so inconvenient or in dangerous locations the average person would be cautious in using them. Currently the diamond battery is just a dream and no auto maker is anticipating using one. Back to the drawing board.
Own zr2 2021. Yes I’ll buy the EV. Never a hybrid. Never a 4 with deactivation.
EV if you want, but don’t expect to save the planet !
It takes coal to power that buggy. But you will successfully destroy the US economy via EV politics and no oil/fuel available.
God help our military if it has no oil. Can you speak Chinese?
