It's all just talk for now. Will we see greater availability and offerings of EVs in the coming years, definitely. Will we see a 100% EV lineup? Not for a very long time.

That’s 2-1/2 to 3 vehicle development cycles. Which means that in that interim, ICE vehicles will continue to be upgraded and will continue to be introduced. Each company has a different cadence and strategy for what products are being shifted to EV when. In the meantime, those that don’t get shifted in the interim will get upgraded.
EVs will continue to launch at a fairly rapid pace, particularly by 2025, so we’ll see both ICE and EV in the market place for a long time. But we’re looking at at least 2030 before EVs are at volume parity to ICE.

What about the "30 EV models by 2025" goal?...30 announced and availability unknown? 30 revealed or just talked about but nowhere to be seen in 2025? By now I think we have learned it likely won't mean 30 models to choose from that you can actually buy and drive home in 2025? Or has that "promise" been just left to die on the vine?
This "Launch" business seems like just a lot of gm-speak smoke and mirrors with nothing to really get your hands on.
