| GM President Mark Reuss recently revealed on the Inside EVs podcast that while the idea of an all-electric Corvette remains possible, it’s not happening just yet.
Reuss explained that building a true Corvette experience, balancing dynamics, weight, and thermal performance, remains a major challenge with today’s EV technology. “An all-electric Corvette that drives like a Corvette isn’t easy right now,” he said. “We’ll get there when the technology makes it right.” For now, GM’s focus will stay on perfecting its current lineup, including the hybrid C8 E-Ray. Forecasts show the C8 program running through 2028, with the next-gen C9 likely keeping an internal combustion engine well into the 2030s. Translation: the roar of the V8 isn’t going away anytime soon. |

Mike B.
I got into Corvettes when I retired 11 years ago from a 40 year career of teaching chemistry and physics to high schoolers in South Dakota and bought a retirement gift to myself, a 1995 black on black coupe. It was a little tired with 95,000 miles on it but I thought it would be a great car for me to do a little wrenching on. I was able to do that and fixed all the little things that were wrong with it with the help of the factory service manual that was the first thing I bought after the Corvette. I was able to take it to the 2014 Black Hills Corvette Classic Rally. I think my wife enjoyed driving it as much as I did. A couple of my DIY improvements even made it into the Vette Vues magazine, a DIY route bag and a DIY foldable cup holder. After about seven years of ownership, I fulfilled another checkoff on my bucket list when I purchased a 2007 Le Mans blue metallic 3LT convertible. I am enjoying the Corvette community even more with this car and its HUD display. I believe in driving them and will do so as often as I can.

Some Random Thoughts
Common sense is like deodorant. The people who need it most never use it.
I’d like to thank autocorrect for teaching me how many ways I can accidentally insult people.
