I am really not sure if GM will be making any type of affordable compact to mid-sized EV sedans. They, like other US OEMs, have pretty much abandoned those segments with ICE vehicles and I am not sure what the appetite is for building EVs in those segments.
There are pros and cons to giving up that segment for sure.
