GM Shocks With Future EV Portfolio

We’ve known for quite some time that GM is planning to go all-in on electric vehicles. When they discontinued the Volt, they indicated that they were tired of simply dipping their toes in the water with hybrid vehicles, instead wanting to focus on fully electric vehicles.

Inside the Endurance electric pickup, from Lordstown

Rivian has major backers, a massive backlog of orders, and the old Diamond Star (Mitsubishi/Chrysler) plant in Illinois.
