However, the EV1 and vehicles on BEV2 differ greatly, in part due to the two-decade gap between them. 2010–2015: Gamma derivatives In 2011, GM announced that they had finished development of an EV supplier base in China. This coincided with the introduction of the Springo, an EV based on the Gamma platform's Chevrolet Sail.
