As the current auto show season approached, there had been some hints that a Chevrolet Bolt EV-based offering would debut, specifically an all electric/compact Buick EV, but GM has now officially stated there will be a lot more EVs coming soon.

Specifically that GM will offer two new all-electric vehicles "based off learnings from the Chevrolet Bolt EV" in the "next 18 months", and that "at least 20 new all-electric vehicles that will launch by 2023".

Now to be clear, because we have heard a lot of automakers talk about "electrifying" their lineups of late (Honda, VW, BMW, Jaguar, Volvo, etc), which is a clever way of lumping hybrids (and sometimes plug-in hybrids) with all-electric cars into press releases...GM isn't saying that, they are clearly saying "all-electric vehicles". That's a lot of EVs indeed!

“General Motors believes in an all-electric future,” said Mark Reuss, General Motors executive vice president of Product Development, Purchasing and Supply Chain. “Although that future won't happen overnight, GM is committed to driving increased usage and acceptance of electric vehicles through no-compromise solutions that meet our customers' needs.”

We should note that GM currently has a massive push underway in China to conform to some pretty strict (and almost immediate) electric vehicle sales thresholds, so one should probably several of these coming 20+ all-electric vehicles will be offering in China only.

We assume a heck of a lot more windmills (known for following EVs wherever they go in the wild) will be photographed in GM's press material over the next 5 years
