Today, Buick announced that it is only going to offer all-electric vehicles by 2030 and unveiled a stunning EV concept called Wildcat.<\/p>\n

At an event today, Buick unveils how its brand plan fits into GM\u2019s electrification effort.<\/p>\n

Duncan Aldred, global vice president of Buick and GMC for GM, announced that Buick will only offer all-electric vehicles by 2030:<\/p>\n

\n

The Buick brand is committed to an all-electric future by the end of this decade. Buick\u2019s new logo, use of the Electra naming series and a new design look for our future products will transform the brand.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To highlight the significance of the plan, Buick adopted a new logo to mark the upcoming new electric era of the brand:<\/p>\n

Buick also announced that its future EV products will also carry the \u201cElectra\u201d name \u2013 starting with the first electric model coming in 2024.<\/p>\n

In order to preview its future electric vehicles, Buick decided to unveil a new 2+2 coupe concept called Wildcat:<\/p>\n

Sharon Gauci, executive director of Global Buick and GMC Design, commented on the vehicle:<\/p>\n

\n

The Wildcat EV concept represents the real design future for the brand. Buick has always been forward looking and this expression is a glimpse of where we\u2019re going, and the optimism we have for the limitless possibilities of an electric future.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On the powertrain side of things, Buick hasn\u2019t released any details since it\u2019s still only a concept. We should have more information next year when the automaker released its first production version EV ahead of the start of production in 2024.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t expect too many surprises on that front since Buick is expected to use GM\u2019s Ultium<\/a> EV platform, which already powers new electric vehicles from GMC and Cadillac.<\/p>\n
