General Motors announced last month that the BrightDrop brand of commercial electric vans was being rolled into Chevy as an expansion of its commercial van lineup. Just weeks after the Chevy bowtie was slapped on the vans formerly known as the BrightDrop Zevo 400 and Zevo 600, official pricing data is out for these electric vans. All 2025 Chevy BrightDrop pricing figures below include the $3,325 destination freight charge.
| Trim Level | Powertrain | Drivetrain | 2025 MSRP + DFC |
|---|---|---|---|
| 400 | 1-Motor – 14-Module Battery | FWD | $78,625 |
| 400 | 2-Motor – 14-Module Battery | AWD | $81,225 |
| 400 | 2-Motor – 20-Module Battery | AWD | $89,225 |
| 600 | 1-Motor – 14-Module Battery | FWD | $80,125 |
| 600 | 2-Motor – 14-Module Battery | AWD | $82,725 |
| 600 | 2-Motor – 20-Module Battery | AWD | $90,725 |
Now that the BrightDrop is a Chevy model, it’s been broken into two trim levels. The old BrightDrop Zevo 400 is now the Chevy BrightDrop 400 and the old BrightDrop Zevo 600 is now the Chevy BrightDrop 600. The 400 is the shorter one and the 600 is the longer one.
Both 2025 Chevy BrightDrop variants come standard with a single-motor, front-wheel drive configuration, while a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup is optional. 2025 is the first model year that these vans are available with front-wheel drive; they previously came exclusively with all-wheel drive.
Opting for the 20-module battery pack on the dual-motor model costs an $8,000 premium, but maximizes the estimated combined driving range of these vans to 272 miles on a full charge. With the standard battery pack, the BrightDrop gets a 159-mile range in the 400 trim and a 164-mile range in the 600 trim.
The 2025 Chevy BrightDrop 400 has a higher payload rating, but a smaller cargo volume than its big brother. The 400 can carry up to 3,580 pounds and has a max cargo volume of 412.1 cubic feet. Meanwhile, the bigger BrightDrop 600 can carry 3,180 pounds, but has a more expansive cargo volume of 614.7 cubic feet.
Both the 2025 Chevy BrightDrop 400 and 600 make use of GM Ultium battery and GM Ultium Drive motor technologies for motivation. The BrightDrop vans are currently in service with Walmart, Hertz, FedEx, Verizon, and other enterprises. Production is underway at the GM CAMI plant in Canada and could soon return to two shifts.
Comments
Best for short hop delivery routes within the Ultium factory grounds. Totally worth the development costs. RAH, team!
Chevy should try to win some of the mail and package carrier businesses, such as FedEx, UPS, and the USPS.
Wonder if a 400 with the big battery could be a good food truck with all inductive appliances. Not that food trucks end up driving much, and certainly a huge investment with little payback, but would be an interesting experiment. Maybe GM could pack another layer of batteries and instead of a Jackie Stewart edition, it could be a Martha Stewart edition.
I like the steward connection
Might need to simmer that analogy a bit longer
Mount the body on an ICE Silverado chassis and I’m looking.
Paul, buy a Silverado and do it yourself.
