Honestly, I can hardly wait! I’ve had my name down since day I found out about them.
Must be at the new GM EV proving grounds in Oshawa. I saw the HUMMER EV there to before it was unveiled
Actually I read up on this one. Seems the batteries went dead and this picture is them using the charge cable to tow it up close. 
Funny how it's the spitting image of Gilles27's car. I wonder if he's a test pilot for GM now? Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm
Test pilot? Would that be the same as a space cadet?.... Jk...
It’s also a Tesla supercharger I think
That eray badge looks 100% not photoshopped. Hahaha. Love it.

Hoax...but it got some attention so mission accomplished for whomever posted it on the Web.
The charge cable runs through the tow hook; it's a Tesla charge station that's likely only compatible with Tesla's; the wording "E-Ray" on the charge station is obviously photoshopped since it's a future Corvette model and nothing to do with Tesla.

Maybe something that is necessary for the planet but sad to think about.
LOVE the plate!!
That's the speculation, but with the hollow main chassis for batteries there is no reason why it can't be full electric and still faster than the current C8!

The lack of engine noise for an electric vehicle is the one thing I question...I suspect it'll be a "no go" for me and if they pipe in "pretend electronic engine noise" I doubt that will be a solution since it'll feel too phoney/fabricated/contrived for a sports car. On top of that, I'm not interested in a vehicle that doesn't have a minimum 4-hour range of operation before recharging, in the colder temperatures we get with our Winters out West. Plus, they have to miraculously improve the power grid to handle a million+ electric vehicles when the manufacturers make nothing but electric. With our hot weather, we're already being told to conserve electricity to avoid depleting the power grid. Finally, when you take into account the power consumption (and where the power comes from, with the exception of a hydroelectric dam) used to manufacture each vehicle, plus the elements used to create the batteries, plus the pollution from disposing of the batteries, I question how much more "environmentally friendly" these electric vehicles truly are. I think we need further technological improvements to change some/all of the foregoing, to make this more viable. My 2 cents.
