Corvette chief Tony Roma confirmed that Chevy has no plans for an all-electric Corvette, stating that the technology and market demand are not currently viable.
Roma clarified that discussions about an electrified Corvette referred to models like the E-Ray and ZR1X with additional power from electric motors, not an all-electric version.
The all-wheel-drive system in the electrified Corvette versions helps improve stability in curves, providing unique driving experiences, according to Roma.
The reassurance from Roma suggests that future Corvette models, like the C9, will likely continue to feature internal combustion engines, preserving the iconic sound of gas-powered Corvettes.
