Do you really think GM gives one hoot for Big Oil? If America desperately demanded electric cars and the technology was advanced enough at the time to mass market an affordable, dependable electric car that could be supported by our infrastructure within a few years - then you bet your hiney GM would have been "first to market" with that baby. Corporate greed extends to GM as well. If you are the CEO of GM with gazillions in stock options, you bet your ass you'd want to be forever known as the guy who got there first with a fully electric car that could turn a profit with enough mass appeal.
There's a reason they scrapped full electric and went to hybrid instead and it has nothing to do with car companies cowtowing to big oil.
