2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray
Let’s stay with Chevrolet, which recently started production of the 2024 Corvette E-Ray, the first-ever Corvette with a hybrid powertrain and all-wheel drive. It combines the Stingray’s 495-horsepower V8 engine with a front-mounted, 160-horsepower electric motor drawing energy from a 1.9kWh battery located under the centre console. Total output is 655 horsepower, good enough to sprint from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 2.5 seconds. EV range is a very modest 6 km—at speeds of no more than 70 km/h.
In Canada, pricing starts at $150,316 including destination, dealer fees and the inevitable luxury tax. In case you missed our first-drive review of the Corvette E-Ray, now’s the time to catch up.
