Albano did mention that GM has not ruled out performance electric cars in the future, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll see a Camaro EV anytime soon. As electrification takes center stage at GM, he said the automaker is moving “some of our best talent” to EV projects, according to Car and Driver.
