And it doesn’t stop there: GM also plans another investment of $35 billion by 2035 to take the lead in supplying electric and autonomous vehicles. “We will have the products, battery cell capability, and vehicle assembly capacity to be the leader in EVs (electric vehicles) by the middle of the decade,” said GM CEO Mary Barra in a statement.
All this money is aimed at overtaking the automaker of billionaire Elon Musk. However, surpassing global leader Tesla in electric vehicle sales in the United States by 2025 will be a tough task for GM, according to market analysts. “It won’t be easy to do this in just three years.

According to analysts at Seeking Alpha, an American financial content service, GM sold fewer than 25,000 EVs last year, falling behind Ford, which sold 27,140 units of its Mustang Mach-E, and it seems that the competition among automakers will intensify to surpass the global leader Tesla in electric vehicle production, led by billionaire Elon Musk.

For those curious and fond of General Motors cars, the American automaker will offer, in electric versions, the Hummer, Equinox, Silverado, and Sierra to the market.
However, the new executive order from U.S. President Joe Biden, mandating that half of sales be free of carbon emissions by 2030, has been a major stimulus for manufacturers to move towards alternatives with electric, hybrid, or hydrogen-powered vehicles. Recently, luxury automakers Lamborghini and Bentley announced plans to electrify all their cars.
