Pritchard Companies Announces Chevrolet BrightDrop Dealer Approval

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, Clear Lake, Iowa, September 24, 2024 Pritchard EV and Pritchard Commercial, divisions of Pritchard Companies, are proud to announce they have been approved to add the Chevrolet BrightDrop product to their portfolio.  The 2025 Chevrolet BrightDrop will be the next product Pritchard EV will add to the California HVIP program. 


BrightDrop EVs are the newest addition to the Chevrolet portfolio. The Chevrolet BrightDrop is an all-electric walk-in van for the commercial vehicle market. It is available in 2 models, the 400 and 600.  It is estimated to offer a 272-mile combined city/highway range and advanced features to help keep the driver safe and alert. It features a max payload of 3,710 pounds and has up to 614.7 cu.ft. of cargo volume.

 

BrightDrop was first introduced to the market as a GM subsidiary at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2021.  In 2023, it was integrated into GM Envolve, the company’s fleet business that serves thousands of commercial and government customers.

 

As 2025 nears, adding the Chevrolet BrightDrop vans to the Pritchard offerings will give customers access to sales and service through its nationwide sales and service network, significantly boosting brand growth opportunities and making serviceability convenient. Pritchard Companies brings over 110 years of automotive commercial vehicle experience to the marketplace. 

 

“As more commercial customers start to explore EVs for their fleets, we want to be sure Pritchard Commercial and Pritchard EV are positioned at the forefront of the market for product offerings and after-sale service,” says Scott Sasser, VP of Commercial & Global Sales, Pritchard Commercial.  “We’re eager to get the Chevrolet BrightDrop in front of our customers as an option as the market evolves into adding electric to their fleets.”
