General Motors CEO Mary Barra announced this past week the automaker intends to launch seven Ultium-based all-electric vehicles this year, making it a leader in EV launches amongst legacy OEMs. Speaking at the Wolfe Global Auto, Auto Tech, and Auto Consumer Conference, Barra, alongside CFO Paul Jacobson, confirmed that by the end of this year, those new EVs will all be on sale.
They include the following: Chevy Blazer EV, Equinox EV, Silverado EV, Cadillac Lyriq, GMC Hummer EV pickup and SUV, and the Bright drop electric van.
The Chevy Bolt EV and EUV will also remain available, though they’re not Ultium-based. “We are different from the rest of the traditional OEMs, and this is our really going to be our year to demonstrate it,” she told her audience.
