Upcoming electric passenger vehicles and light trucks from GM get most of the attention, but its new commercial EV brand is a quiet and very serious push too. But very few consumers will come up with BrightDrop , the name GM has given to a new unit that builds electric commercial vehicles: full-size vans and even electric cargo containers.
