Chevy Brightdrop

We’re excited to announce that Maritime Chevy is now a BrightDrop dealer! The Chevrolet BrightDrop is redefining commercial operations with its all-purpose, all-electric walk-in van designed to deliver efficiency, convenience, and reliability for modern businesses. Built with drivers in mind, this cutting-edge vehicle offers multiple range options, spacious interiors, and advanced technology to enhance productivity on the go.

The Chevrolet BrightDrop delivers a powerful and efficient solution for commercial fleets with multiple powertrain options and impressive cargo capabilities. Its base configuration features a front-wheel-drive single-motor setup generating 240 horsepower, while an available all-wheel-drive variant adds a second motor for a combined 300 horsepower. This dual-motor option provides a significant edge over competitors like the E-Transit, which is limited to a single rear-wheel-drive motor.

Driving Range and Battery Options
The BrightDrop offers versatile battery configurations to suit different operational needs. The standard battery pack delivers up to 180 miles per charge for the 600 model and 178 miles per charge for the 400 model. For businesses requiring extended range, an optional “Max Range” battery pack—available exclusively on all-wheel-drive models—offers up to 303 miles per charge, making it ideal for long-distance routes or high-demand delivery schedules.

Cargo Capacity and Payload Ratings
Designed for heavy-duty tasks, the BrightDrop offers robust payload capabilities:

  • 400 Front-Wheel Drive: Up to 3710 pounds
  • 400 All-Wheel Drive: Up to 3480 pounds
  • 600 Front-Wheel Drive: Up to 3350 pounds
  • 600 All-Wheel Drive: Up to 3130 pounds

The 400 model provides up to 412 cubic feet of cargo space, while the longer-wheelbase 600 model boasts a generous 615 cubic feet, accommodating a wide variety of cargo loads.

Optimized for Efficiency and Convenience
The BrightDrop is thoughtfully designed for solo operation, with a fold-down jump seat for occasional passengers and a wide-opening side door that streamlines entry and exit during deliveries. Unlike traditional front-hinged doors, this setup enhances efficiency for drivers making frequent stops.

Although all current BrightDrop models are configured as cargo vans, Chevrolet has hinted at the possibility of introducing a passenger-focused window van in the future, further expanding its utility.

With its robust performance, flexible configurations, and commitment to innovation, the Chevrolet BrightDrop sets a new standard for electric commercial vehicles, meeting the evolving needs of businesses while prioritizing sustainability.
