No EV type Camaro has been "revealed" and even if it were it would be two years or so before being reasonably available. I think an ICE Camaro will be around for possibly two more years, then just fade away with no comparable EV alongside. The sales numbers just aren't there. My $.02.

P.S. If GM and Camaro could continue for many years ahead to build only ICE ZL1s and ZL1 1LEs, that would fill the sporty two door coupe performance market, as small as it may be. Just a thought.

Yeah, all the EVs I listed have high volume ICE versions in the market. So the naming is no doubt to allow for continued selling of the ICE version but also taking advantage of the name recognition for the EV version.

I still think that if/when GM introduces an EV sporty coupe it will carry the Camaro name. Even if the sales aren’t there right now, the name has positive equity and that is hard (and expensive) to establish. That’s why I think if there is a sporty EV Coupe, it will be named Camaro EV. Or maybe just Camaro, since it won’t be offered concurrently with the ICE version. The ICE Camaro goes away when CT4/CT5 go away. Since Cadillac will be all EV by 2030, and Escalade will no doubt be the last ICE model, they go away sooner than later.

GM has and continues to show a silhouette of a sporty coupe that is not a Corvette. I think this leaves the doors open to the silhouette being a Camaro EV. Might be a reach, but I think there is smoke there.
