"Based on cost to produce" is the main thing they care about. Eventually they know the customer won't have a choice in the years to come. All this back peddling you see (for example, GM doing an apparent 180 on hybrids) is maybe the response to customer pushback, but don't kid yourself, we will one day see a full BEV only lineup. They don't want to produce both forever.
On this small to midsize BEV truck option though, GM again missed the boat there I think similar to the Maverick discussion. It would make a ton of sense for fleets and city runabouts. I have seen exactly qty 1 Silverado WT 70k MSRP with a company branded wrap. I was hoping they'd give us a downsized Hummer H3 size BEV.
EDIT: I was curious and looked at local Silverado EV WTs in my area, they are being discounted in some cases 20k to the 50s total!
