GM Drove a Chevrolet Silverado EV More Than 1000 Miles on a Single Charge

General Motors just revealed that its employees recently took a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV on a ridiculous 1,059.2-mile trek across Metro Detroit without stopping for a battery top-up. That journey has now secured a EV range world record for the brand, besting Lucid’s 749-mile journey earlier this year. The truck in question is a Silverado EV in Work Truck spec with the Max Range battery pack, which provides 205 kWh of juice. The automaker says that the truck’s hardware and software were entirely untouched and representative of a customer vehicle.  GM Drives Chevrolet Silverado EV 1059 Miles On a Single Charge

GM to invest $4 Billion to Shift Some Production from Mexico to the US

Shares of General Motors rose before the opening bell after announcing plans to invest $4 billion to shift some production from Mexico to U.S. manufacturing plants as the automaker navigates tariffs that could drive prices higher. President Trump signed executive orders in April, relaxing some of his 25% tariffs on automobiles and auto parts, a significant reversal as the import taxes threatened to hurt domestic manufacturers. GM said late Tuesday that the investment will be made over the next two years and is for its gas and electric vehicles.  GM to invest $4 billion to shift some production from Mexico to the US | AP News

General Motors Unveils New Futuristic Concept, Which Is a Corvette in Name Only

It’s a beautiful vision of an all-electric, wide hypercar, but it has nothing to do with the Corvette mark. One of three General Motors will unveil over the next year, each from a different design studio. It’s a beautiful supercar — low and wide with a classic mid-engine bubble-cockpit profile — but you’d never know it’s a Corvette. The front fin lights recall the design codes of GM’s premium label, Cadillac. The wrap-around windshield borrows from Koenigsegg and Saab. The porous aero elements mirror other electric hypercars like the Lotus Evija and Porsche Mission X, while the split between smooth upper aero and aggressive lower carbon elements appears on countless modern supercars.

Deals on Leases Drive EV Market by Christopher Otts

Toyota Motor’s only electric vehicle widely on sale in the U.S. starts at about $37,000. But practically nobody plunks down that much for the mid size SUV, named bZ4X. “Almost everyone leases the car,” Toyota U.S. sales chief David Christ said in a re cent interview. “You’d be a fool not to.” The Japanese-made SUV, which qualifies for a $7,500 federal subsidy only if it is leased, illustrates a broader shift in the way car companies are marketing electric cars to consumers, with more-afford able monthly payments and no long-term commitment. People who leased the Toyota in 2024 paid $445 a month on average, compared with $717 for those who financed the car through a purchase loan, according to credit bureau Experian.

The First Army-Navy Game – Cadets and midshipmen played their first football game Nov. 29, 1890 on “The Plain” at West Point. Navy had been playing organized football since 1879 and defeated the newly established Army team, 24-0. The historic event would become one of the most celebrated traditions in American college sports: the Army-Navy football game. This was not just a mere football match; it was the birth of a rivalry steeped in pride, honor, and the spirit of friendly competition between the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point and the United States Naval Academy (USNA) at Annapolis. The Army-Navy game is more than just a sporting event; it is a celebration of American military service, a showcase of athletic prowess, and a testament to the enduring spirit of rivalry and respect. It’s not just about who wins or loses; it’s about tradition, honor, and the unbreakable bond between two esteemed military institutions.
