I drove the Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray for a week — and I can’t believe it runs off hybrid power

TL;DR · WeSearch summary

The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray is a hybrid sports car combining a 6.2L V8 engine with a 1.9 kWh battery for a total of 655 horsepower and a 0 to 60 mph time of 2.5 seconds. Despite its high performance, it is surprisingly easy to drive and includes modern features like an automatic lifting system and ample storage. However, it lacks proper adaptive cruise control and its electric 'Stealth Mode' is limited in cold temperatures.
