Expect them to be sold side-by-side for some period of time as GM makes the transition between now and 2035. Some legacy nameplates will disappear before the EV brand if the plant where the legacy nameplate is built is being converted to a Factory Zero (LGR for example).

Interesting list. But the "Timing" column seems a bit vague. Some being already in production, orders taken, etc. Those dates may be more accurate....But others, aside from still needing a plant, etc. the timing could also mean a reveal date...order date...limited first edition dates, stretched out for several additional years...
I don't really care so to speak...lol...but these "promise" dates so far seem to have been overly optimistic and watching-paint-dry long. No big deal, really. But the Intro to actual on the road seems like a lot longer than what we have seen.
Just an observation...and a somewhat jaded gripe...so, sorry, no offense meant...lol..I know it's a huge undertaking and things happen, no-one has a perfect crystal ball, etc. but definitely not worth holding one's breath over and better for me to put them in the I'll believe it when I see it column...lol...
All good. Appreciate the info and your hard work for our edification.
P.S. How about that Corvette EV!....lol
P.S.S. Also looks like a continuation of Hi-end intros. Not much to cheer about in the bottom affordability range it seems. Hopefully not the case, but we'll see.
