Chevrolet’s Path to an All Electric Future

All Electric Chevrolet Silverado EV
  The green revolution is sweeping nearly every industry, and the automotive industry is no exception. In an effort to reduce emissions and minimize drivers' carbon footprints, many automobile manufacturers began with gas/electric hybrid vehicles. According to the International Council on Clean Transportation the electric vehicle market in the United States has grown from a few thousand vehicles in 2010 to more than 315,000 vehicles sold annually from 2018 to 2020 which makes up about 2.5% of new vehicle sales. Chevrolet has had its share of models that included the Malibu Hybrid as well as all-electric plug-in vehicles, the Volt and the Bolt. General Motors showed the world how simple and smart owning an electric vehicle can be — but that was just the beginning. We’re heading down the road toward an all-electric future, and we want you in the passenger seat with us for all the innovations, announcements, and reveals as we create some of the most exciting and advanced vehicles in Chevrolet history. Well that future is here and now! Chevrolet recently announced the launch of the fully electric Silverado EV pickup, and is adding two more electric vehicle SUV models by 2023. We will begin selling electric versions of the Chevrolet Equinox and Chevrolet Blazer in 2023 in addition to the Silverado EV. Chevrolet is not the only GM nameplate that is introducing EVs in the next two years. The company has started to deliver the GMC Hummer EV pickup truck and is also introducing the Hummer EV SUV in 2023. An electric GMC Sierra is coming to market, likely in 2023 as well. By the end of 2025, GM will launch 30 EVs globally, and more than two-thirds will be available in North America. Cadillac, GMC, Chevrolet and Buick will all be represented, with EVs at all price points for families, work, adventure and performance. Between 2020 and 2025, GM will invest $35 billion in EV and AV product development spending, exceeding GM’s gas and diesel investment. The investments will create thousands of new, good-paying U.S. jobs. This includes plans to make our Factory ZERO and Spring Hill, Tennessee assembly plants dedicated to electric vehicle production.

Holiday Charity Drives

Ways to Give Back To Your Community This Holiday Season

Holiday Charity Drives The Holiday Season should be filled with joy and wonder. However, with our current economy there are many South Jersey families struggling just to live day to day. You can make a difference by participating in various Holiday Charity Drives to help bring some happiness to people in your community that you don't even know need the help. Contribute to a Food Drive November is the month when the Holiday Spirit really spreads, and holiday planning begins to eat up calendar space. This year just like last year looks much different than seasons past. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to linger along with it the uncertainty it creates, one thing remains the same: The joy that comes from spreading holiday cheer by helping our neighbors in need. This year, about 800,000 people in New Jersey face hunger every day. 200,000 of them are children, that’s roughly 1 in 10 children. Additionally, children in South Jersey counties such as Atlantic, Cape May, and Cumberland were almost twice more likely to experience hunger than the rest of the state, with 1 in 6 children vulnerable to hunger. At Gentilini Chevrolet we have taken steps in an effort to help these children by teaming up with The Community Foodbank of New Jersey Southern Branch and hosting a Food Drive right here at our dealership. Now through December 13, drop your donations in any of the boxes located in our Showrooms & Service Areas, and we will deliver them to those who need it most this holiday season. Contribute to a Toy Drive This time of year is full of wonder, imagination, and the hope of new toys for most children. Many South Jersey families have had to shift priorities especially with the current state of the global economy and uncertainty it brings. Alarmingly, approximately 15 million American children live in poverty. Studies reveal that growing up in poverty can have an adverse psychological impact on a child. One of the adverse impacts is low self-esteem, a by-product of little or no hope for the future. The new toy which millions of needy children receive each Christmas from Marines, through the Toys for Tots Program, delivers a message of hope. By being excellent role models and setting an example for others to emulate, Marines, through Toys for Tots, perform passive mentoring. Economically disadvantaged children who receive toys through the Toys for Tots program have an opportunity to observe first-hand how young men and women, just like themselves, have achieved success. At Gentilini Chevrolet we are doing our part to assist our local Toys For Tots branch by partnering with them as a drop off location. In 2021 our local Toys For Tots branch supported 3,248 local children and distributed 18,036 toys! Drop your donations in any of the boxes located in our Showrooms & Service Areas, and we will deliver them to those who need it most this winter. Contribute to a Coat Drive With the holiday season comes the colder weather. Many people right here in South Jersey do not have proper attire needed to keep warm this winter. At Gentilini Chevrolet we are doing what we can to help those in need in our surrounding communities by teaming up with local organizations that accept and distribute coats on behalf of Coats For Kids. Drop your donations in any of the boxes located in our Showrooms & Service Areas, and we will deliver them to those who need it most this winter. How can you help people facing food insecurity? Donate food or money to a food bank. Every $1 donated helps Community Food Bank of New Jersey provide three meals to individuals struggling with food insecurity. Financial gifts of any amount fuel their signature programs such that allow them to reach more people in more places across Southern New Jersey. As you reflect back on 2022 and look ahead to 2023, consider taking a moment to do good in your community and ensure that everyone has enough to eat throughout the holidays and beyond by donating today. Volunteer Your Time If means are limited this year and you’re unable to donate money, consider volunteering with our local charitable organizations. With the increased need for food, coats, clothing, shelter, and toys in our community, your support is invaluable. Here at Gentilini Chevrolet, the holidays are about gratitude, and we could not be more grateful for your support.
