What year is Chevy going all-electric?
Chevrolet plans to go all-electric by 2035. GM's broader plan to phase out internal combustion engines for its brands includes Chevrolet as a core part of the transition.
Context and timeline
GM announced in 2021 that it would transition to an all-electric lineup by 2035, with Chevrolet being a key pillar of that strategy. The company has pursued a phased rollout of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) across its lineup, leveraging the Ultium battery platform and expanding its charging network. Here is a snapshot of the evolving timeline and milestones.
GM's 2035 target
In 2035, GM intends to stop selling new internal combustion engine vehicles in the U.S. and Canada and offer only zero-emission light-duty vehicles. Chevrolet's product strategy aligns with this goal, with several BEVs introduced or in development.
Model rollout and platform strategy
Chevrolet is rolling out BEVs on GM's Ultium platform, starting with the Bolt family and expanding to crossovers and trucks like Equinox EV, Blazer EV, Trailblazer EV, Silverado EV, etc. The timeline includes mid-decade expansion and ongoing updates.
Chevrolet's current EV lineup (as of 2025)
Here are Chevrolet's production BEV models that are on sale or planned for the near term, illustrating the path toward the 2035 goal.
- Chevrolet Bolt EV (compact hatchback; introduced 2017; latest updates continue)
- Chevrolet Bolt EUV (crossover variant; introduced 2022)
- Chevrolet Trailblazer EV (compact SUV; introduced 2024 model year)
- Chevrolet Blazer EV (midsize SUV; introduced 2023-24)
- Chevrolet Equinox EV (compact SUV; introduced 2024 model year)
- Chevrolet Silverado EV (full-size pickup; introduced 2024-25)
These models reflect Chevrolet's emphasis on BEVs while maintaining a broader product portfolio. Availability varies by market and trim, and model lines may evolve with new generations and pricing.
What this means for buyers
For consumers, the transition implies increasing access to BEVs from Chevrolet, ongoing improvements in range, charging infrastructure, and total cost of ownership. The company emphasizes Ultium battery technology to deliver more range and flexibility for different vehicle types, with incentives and service networks to support adoption. Expect more SUV and pickup EVs in the coming years as Chevrolet ramps up production to meet the 2035 target.
Challenges and considerations
As with any large transition, the shift to an all-electric Chevrolet lineup faces challenges including supply chain constraints (batteries, raw materials), charging infrastructure expansion, vehicle affordability, and consumer demand shifts. GM has been investing heavily in battery plants and software to address these hurdles, while also navigating regulatory environments in different regions.
Conclusion
Chevrolet's path to an all-electric future centers on a 2035 target set by GM for its brands, with a growing portfolio of BEVs and ongoing investments in batteries and manufacturing. The transition is underway, and Chevy's lineup by the mid-2020s illustrates the steps toward that goal.
Summary: Chevrolet aims to be all-electric by 2035, with a growing BEV lineup including Bolt variants, Trailblazer EV, Blazer EV, Equinox EV, and Silverado EV, backed by GM's Ultium platform and battery strategy. The pace of rollout will depend on market conditions, manufacturing capacity, and policy shifts, but the overall goal remains clear: a future where Chevrolet's new light-duty vehicles are zero-emission by 2035.
