As GM continues to march towards its all-electric future, it’s rolling out new EV-centric branding efforts to complement. That includes new badging for the latest batch of Chevy EV models, all of which will sport a small blue E in the nameplate.
Indeed, GM isn’t lacking when it comes to new Chevy EV models. The Bow Tie brand has already laid out plans to launch the new Chevy Equinox EV crossover, the new Chevy Blazer EV crossover, and the new Chevy Silverado EV pickup, all of which are set to hit the market in the next year. Notably, all three also bear a small blue E badge in the nameplate.
The badge includes three horizontal blue lines that replace the “E” in each respective nameplate. The new blue E badge closely resembles the Ultium Cells brand logo, which also includes three horizontal lines. For those readers who may be unaware, Ultium Cells is a joint venture between GM and LG Energy Solution that builds the battery systems that power the latest GM vehicles.
For now, no other Chevy EVs beyond the three already mentioned have been confirmed for production. It’s also worth mentioning that many of the existing Chevy nameplates don’t actually include an “E,” with examples including the Chevy Camaro, Chevy Malibu, Chevy Trax, and Chevy Suburban. It’s possible that if these nameplates are electrified in the future, Chevy will simply opt to add an Ultium badge next to the nameplate, rather than within the nameplate as is the case for the Chevy Equinox EV, Chevy Blazer EV, and Chevy Silverado EV.
Looking ahead, GM has announced plans to eliminate tailpipe emissions from its light-duty vehicle lineup by the 2035 calendar year, with the eventual goal of becoming completely carbon neutral by 2040. GM will also introduce 30 all-new electric models globally by mid-decade, with 40 percent of the automaker’s U.S. lineup being battery-powered by the end of the 2025 calendar year.

Slap an old GM badge next to it and I’ll take 20!
For those names without an “E” , just add “EV ” to the name. I would buy a Malibu EV if GM will make and sell it.
I think its coming with the sedan prototype recently shown from China
this is why Chevelle is perfect for the name of this low roof sedan with muscular lines
This is BIG news! (Not). Now let’s see some electric vehicles on the lots. Vehicles instead of hype.
Stay tuned.. will be curious MalibuEV( maybe renamed ChEVelle?) or the Canyon/Colorado which will be first? I was still hoping for a Malibu SS with a 2.5 turbo for a bit under 50k, be a nice daily driver that would allow the Camaro to take winters off.
GM fan: Totally agree. I would take a Malibu EV in under a second. Especially if they keep the looks more normal instead of making it look all EV stupid! That’s my biggest issue with the hybrids/EV is that they have been making them look so different from the ICE. Having the exact current Malibu with the Bolt EV powertrain would be a total winner in my book.
I am eager to get information about the next evolution of the Bolt EV which uses the Ultium architecture. I haven’t even found out the name (or development code name), or seen any details of its capabilities, design or release date.
Ok let us say that in 10 years US gas station will lose 7-10 million daily customers. The drop in profits to the refiners and producers will have to be made up. So diesel will increase and the price electric generators pay for hydro-carbon fuels will increase to return profits to Big Oil.
As far as volunteering your battery pack to the grid? Lithium batteries life is counted in charge cycles so naa I will not be “giving” back my battery life.
