There's a little more going here. GM derives 50%+ of it's income from China at this point. In China the wealthy commonly ride around in vans w/ a servant driving. This work is intended for that market.

I'm sure that market will buy them too, and that market is growing in the US too (mostly NYC and LA) but I don't think that's the intention. The article specifically says, "The GM electric van project is aimed at an important segment of the emerging EV market – commercial delivery vehicles."
