What about an EV or Hybrid Camaro?
I don't know if this has been discussed int this forum, but thinking out of the box, if there can be a Tesla Roadster or Porsche EV why not EV Camaro? What are your thoughts on this?

Re: What about an EV or Hybrid Camaro?
EVs have a lot of catching up to do with gas cars in one important way: the ability to run flat out until the gas tank runs dry, fill the tank up again in a couple minutes, and do it again. I like to take my fourth gen to HPDE events, where I take it out and drive as fast as I can around a racetrack for twenty minutes out of each hour. There isn’t a mass-market EV that can do this today. The Rimac Concept One did a great job at the Nurburgring, but that was seven minutes, and you can’t just go buy one of those anyway. A Tesla Model S P100D can’t even go three minutes at full steam before it’s overheated. When electric powertrain tech has caught up on that, I’ll be cool with an electric Camaro. |

GM has said that the Camaro is not the platform for that type of technology.

Re: What about an EV or Hybrid Camaro?
That is such an annoying truth of EVs. Battery range is the #1 hesitation people (me included) have when buying an EV and even Tesla hasn't gotten this right yet. This study shows it pretty nicely https://www.autolist.com/tesla#section=news&s=a after you run out of power you then have to worry about the extended charging time before you can get going again
