GM Teases Upcoming Electric Coupes, Potentially Including Camaro

General Motors recently posted a video on its YouTube page boasting that Vehicle-To-Home (V2H) will be available on more electric vehicles, and near the end of the video, it clearly states that V2H is coming to new Ultium-based sedans, SUVs, coupes, hatchbacks, and trucks.

The stand-out word is obviously coupes. We already know about upcoming EVs in every other segment mentioned, but GM's first electric coupe is still very much up in the air.

We know the Chevrolet Camaro is bowing out after the 2024 model year, but GM already started hinting at an electric successor in 2020. While GM's plans may have changed since then, Chevrolet Global's vice president has stated that we have not seen the last of the Camaro. "While we are not announcing an immediate successor today, rest assured, this is not the end of Camaro's story," said Scott Bell after it was announced that Chevy's muscle car would be retired.

Another possibility is a Corvette EV, but not as we know it. As you might have heard, the Corvette brand will be expanded to include an SUV and a sedan. Basically, Chevy may be a Ford Mustang Mach-E and could use a beloved and established model to make EVs more appealing. The latest rumors suggest the SUV will debut with gas-powered engines, while an all-electric 600-horsepower model will follow later.

Neither an SUV nor a sedan explains the coupe part. Or do they? As you might know, the automotive industry uses the word "coupe" for just about everything these days. You can buy a four-door coupe like the Mercedes-AMG GT or a so-called coupe SUV like the BMW X6.

We do not doubt that Chevrolet's marketing department will try to sell the Corvette SUV and sedan as coupes.

Another possibility is Cadillac. General Motors owns the trademarks for various names ending in "iq." So far, we've only seen the Lyriq and Celestiq. It still has Ascendiq, Lumistiq, and Visitq left over. Cadillac has a long history of building epic performance coupes, and a Celestiq-like high-end electric coupe would be a much better rival to the Rolls-Royce Spectre.

As for the V2H technology, GM wants to make it possible to power your home using your car. A vehicle with a large enough battery pack could easily power a home for a few days, making this tech a unique selling point for homeowners who live in areas that regularly experience power cuts.
