Not real surprising, as I understand, all their electric vehicles are basically variants on the same vehicle, whether you're talking a BrightDrop van, Silverado electric, Equinox EV or the upcoming Bolt, economies of scale and all that.

Not so much same vehicle (although they already do share several other parts), but variations of the same power train platform.
Ultium is battery packs that can be arranged in various ways, a handful of mostly similar electric motors, and some control modules and whatnots. The configurations can be vastly different.

And that is pretty much exactly what you meant, so I may have been a bit pedantic.

What's the difference between pedantic and accurate? Mine was good enough, and yours was accurate.
