GM Kills BrightDrop—And Blindsides RV and Fleet Builders

In the episode, I start with GM’s sudden decision to stop the Chevrolet BrightDrop EV vans, just as fleet upfitters and RV manufacturers were getting involved. We explore why the Zevo 600 platform — with AWD, a large battery, OTA updates, and Chevrolet’s national service network — appeared to be a smart bridge strategy for electric RVs and commercial EV adoption. We also discuss what automakers lose when momentum vanishes overnight.
