General Motors Chairman and CEO Mary Barra recently announced that GM plans to offer 30 all-electric vehicle models globally by the midpoint of this decade. This means approximately 40% of the company’s North American offerings will be electric by the end of 2025.
All four GM brands (Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac) will feature electric vehicles within their lineups, meaning there will be EVs available at a vast array of price points and for a multitude of uses. GM’s versatile Ultium platform can underpin everything from mass market low-cost vehicles to high performance sports cars. To drive these new vehicle developments forward, GM is adding more than 3,000 electrical, software, and controls engineers to their team. The upcoming GMC Hummer EV was developed in just 26 months, providing a new benchmark for EV development in the company.
