General Motors introduced the BrightDrop subsidiary in January 2021 with the unveiling of the BrightDrop EV series of electric delivery vans. Renamed BrightDrop Zevo in April 2022, the zero-emission delivery van line has moved under Chevy for model year 2025.Reading between the lines, the Detroit-based automaker wants to broaden the appeal of the all-electric vans by giving them a familiar badge.
