We're on the ground at the New York motor show this week 🇺🇸 The Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray has made its public debut, having notched up a two-year waiting list...

It's expected that the E-Ray will be offered in right-hand-drive guise and exported to the UK, as is the standard Corvette, but Chevrolet has yet to confirm this.Chief engineer Tadge Juechter said:"Corvettes must provide an exhilarating driving experience on backroads and tracks, and [the] E-Ray nails it. The electrification technology enhances the feeling of control in all conditions, adding an unexpected degree of composure.

Power for the electrified element of the powertrain is stored in a small 1.9kWh lithium-ion battery, which is topped up via regenerative braking. Chevrolet hasn't given an electric-only range but has said the E-Ray can be driven at up to 45mph with the engine off in its new Stealth Mode - one of six driving modes offered, each of which gives varying degrees of electrical assistance.

Nice!!

Seriously a two year waiting list!! Why in automotive history have we never seen such stupidly long lead times for relatively mainstream vehicles. Limit supply control values including not only new retail but resale. They definitely keeping the chip shortage spirit alive.
