Chinese Wuling Bingo could come to North America as an entry-level Chevy EV

GM may bring a Chinese-made electric car to North America, badged as a Chevrolet. According to a report from GM Authority, GM is looking at rebadging the Wuling Bingo Pro, a small electric car from its Chinese joint venture SAIC-GM-Wuling, as a Chevy for markets where the brand already sells cars. This is still a rumor, based on unnamed sources, not a confirmed plan.

Canada is the most likely place this could show up first. Canada already has a deal letting in up to 49,000 Chinese-built EVs a year at lower tariff rates, and a small batch of Chinese-made Lotus EVs recently became the first to arrive under that arrangement. That makes Canada a plausible test market for a Chevy-badged version of the Bingo before any move into the US.

The car itself is small and basic: in China it runs on a 37.9 kWh battery using LFP chemistry (a common, durable battery type) with a claimed range of up to 255 miles on a Chinese test cycle, and a modest 50 kW (about 67 horsepower) motor. Nothing about US pricing, availability, or timing has been announced. For now, this is a possibility being discussed inside GM, not a car you can plan a purchase around, though it points to more affordable EV options possibly reaching North American shores through Canada first.
