GM plans a six-seat plug-in hybrid with 780-mile range

Electrek reports a coming GM plug-in hybrid seating six with a claimed 780-mile range, aimed at North America.

Electrek reports that GM is developing a plug-in hybrid vehicle seating six passengers, with a claimed range of 780 miles, positioned squarely for the North American market. It's described as a coming product rather than one on sale now.

Long range without full dependence on charging infrastructure addresses one of the practical barriers to electrified driving: range anxiety and patchy charging networks. A family-sized vehicle that can go far on a mix of electric and hybrid power widens the pool of drivers who can move away from pure gasoline without changing how they travel.

We could not reach the source, so the price, launch timing, and how that 780-mile figure is measured all remain with Electrek. Treat the range number as a manufacturer-oriented claim until independently confirmed.
