Read MoreHide Full Article
General Motors Company’s (GM - Free Report) plans to produce additional electric vehicles (EVs) in China have received a jolt, per Wall Street Journal. This auto giant has been embroiled into trouble as the batteries made in China failed in meeting the performance and safety standards at the time of testing.
Notably, in June this year, General Motors disclosed its plans to deliver 10 new EV models in China by 2020. This auto giant has also announced that between 2021 and 2023, it is going to raise the number of EV models to 20 in China. In fact, the company has already launched Cadillac CT6 Plug-In, Buick Velite 5 extended-range EV and Baojun E100 EV in China. But, as stated by Wall Street Journal, the company’s plans to launch the Velite 6 plug-in hybrid EV in China have been impacted due to battery problems.
China is playing a pivotal role in the transition toward zero emissions future. Like many other automakers, General Motors has also been actively involved in this transition process. This Detroit, MI-based automaker is going to continue expanding its EV portfolio in the mainland and it has stated that the battery issue is not likely to have much impact on its EV building plans in China.
