General Motors is planning something big! GM is planning to Phase out all of its Petrol and Diesel engines. To make way for a New Line-up of electric cars by GM. This is Good news since we are going to see GM Cars roaring for another 14 years!
Now what I am thinking is that they would first work on making a smaller engine. So, to pass emission tests and push Hybrids! Hellcat Engine is going to go out of service soon because of the huge emissions levels and its poor efficiency but the interesting thing would be to see if GM is going to put the Hellcat engine in any other car, they have already done it though ;)
Now General Motors plan is pretty simple on paper of building electric cars and ultimately producing them in so many numbers that they outnumber the gasoline ones which will ultimately be scrapped after the stricter emission rules.
But to execute this plan, general motors will surely be facing problems, that won’t be easy to solve why? It’s because of their sales numbers. General Motors even in the period of the pandemic when several countries were severely affected and companies were shut down, sold over 6.8 million vehicles in 2020 and yes, I agree that the number has gone down from their previous year, but there was no global level pandemic in 2019, in 2020 there was, so they not only survived, they thrived!
30 new electric vehicles by 2025, that’s the general motor’s plan. Too ambitious? Maybe but if General motors have written this on their website and announced it everywhere, then they must have thought about it.
2021 is on the way to its ending and so far, the only electric vehicles that we have seen from general motors are the chevy bolt, the chevy bolt EUV, and the recently launched hummer EV, of which an SUV version will be made as well, so that’s only 4.
Going by their target number which is 30, they will have to launch 26 more models in a span of about 3 to 4 years. Now I don’t know how they are going to do it, they are a huge company and they certainly have the potential to do so, but sill this feels too much for the load General motors has to bear.
What we know as of now is that general motors are planning to make electric vehicles for each and every segment that means everything as low as the affordable range to the exotic range which I think we can count the hummer EV in because of all the quirks it has.
Yet another that they will face is the setup for the infrastructure. With the addition of each model, they will have to add a production facility, which is 26 more, if we go by their plan.
All we can do is sit back and relax and see if general motors will be successful in this mammoth aim of theirs.
So, everyone, that will be all for this time, I trust you liked this one, if you did then do share it with your friends and do consider subscribing to Motordrift for more such content in the future.
Till then
