GM to make Chevrolet electric car

General Motors plans to introduce an all-electric Chevrolet, global product chief Mark Reuss confirmed today.

This would be a different powertrain than the Chevrolet Volt and Cadillac ELR, which GM calls "extended range electric hybrids," because they rely on a gasoline-fueled motor. Reuss disclosed the new battery-only car during a presentation to investors at GM's Milford Proving Ground.

Investors got a sneak peek at the vehicles on the condition they not take photos with their phones. Media were allowed to listen to an audio feed of the presentation without video.
