General Motors BEV2 Platform
The GM BEV2 platform is an automotive platform made by General Motors designed specifically for small electric vehicles. Multiple divisions of the LG Corporation have been instrumental in construction in addition to GM's contributions to the platform. Chronology 1996–2003: EV1 Despite having a "2" in its name, which usually indicates a second generation of a platform in GM nomenclature, BEV2 had no direct predecessor. The concept of "BEV1" actually refers to the General Motors EV1. However, the EV1 and vehicles on BEV2 differ greatly, in part due to the two-decade gap between them. 2010–2015: Gamma derivatives In 2011, GM announced that they had finished development of an EV supplier base in China. This coincided with the introduction of the Springo, an EV based on the Gamma platform's Chevrolet Sail.
