General Motors’ Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant is focused right now on building internal-combustion vehicles like the beleaguered Chevy Camaro and Cadillac CT4 and CT5.
But a recent report from Reuters suggests the large Michigan facility – which opened in 2001 and spans 3.4 million square feet – may be switching over before the end of the decade to production of a new Corvette EV and all-electric Cadillac sedan models.
Reuters says its sources believe production of the new premium EVs could begin in Lansing around 2027. As usual, GM officials are being tight-lipped about future products but did promise “more specifics around product details moving forward.”
In an outline of future GM investments through April 2028 provided in a summary of the latest labor contract with the UAW, negotiated after a 46-day strike, the company indicated plans for $13.3 billion in investments in U.S. facilities, with $1.25 billion earmarked for the Lansing plant.
While the current Lansing vehicles are based on GM’s gasoline-powered Alpha platform, the rumored Corvette EV and Cadillac sedans will use Ultium modular battery packs and Ultimum Drive motors, as well as a new premium-level architecture known as GM BEV Prime.

GM should let customer demand catch up with technology….
Obviously Reuters doesn’t want to report that Mary Bara said a couple weeks ago that she was pulling the plug on EVs. Maybe because they are owned by the Rothschilds who has a different agenda.
Now that Cruise is shutdown and laying off everyone. gm will save 5 million a day. The future does not look like what Mary promised.
