I’d say it would be more likely that if CT4/5 were to continue, 7th Gen would still be off Alpha, with a plug-in hybrid system. The EV would be off the Ultium platform. Same as Blazer / Blazer EV where Blazer is off Chi platform and Blazer EV is off Ultium platform. I know I’ve been gone from the company for a while but I doubt that GM’s position of avoiding compromising EV platforms by protecting for an ICE has changed. The difficulty is finding somewhere to put a 15 - 20 kWh battery in an Alpha.
