E-Ray is not an EV. You don't plug it in. It has a tiny 1.9kw battery that only powers the front electric motor and only recharges when you drive the car. It only has 2 electric only modes, shuttle mode(15mph max) and stealth mode(45mph max for only 3-4 miles). Once the gas engine kicks on, it stays on until the car is shut off.

I drove one a couple of weeks back in Bowling Green and it is a fantastic car. The acceleration is incredible with the AWD. Sub 2.5 second 0-60 runs are the norm with this car. Amazing machine that is not even close to being an EV that some folks and writers claim.

Also, there's no all electric Corvette coming in 2025. That article is full of a bunch of BS.
