GM is also slated to announce a slate of electric Cadillac models including the Lyriq with a  range of upwards of 480 kilometres and perhaps even a GMC branded vehicle.  

This comes in the wake of GM announcing its 2022 Hummer EV truck that will be its first electric pickup that will arrive in the fall of 2021.
