General Motors (GM) Raises Launch Target of EVs in China
Read MoreHide Full Article
General Motors Company (GM - Free Report) is ramping up the launch of electric vehicle (EV) in China. The company plans to introduce 10 more energy vehicles in the market between 2021 and 2023, which is in addition to its ongoing plan to launch 10 EV models between 2016 and 2020.
A continuous push by the Chinese government for EVs and stringent quotas – which is expected to be effective in 2019 – have prompted automakers to launch an array of vehicles with plug-in hybrid and electric batteries. Moreover, competition to stay ahead and grab more market share in the world's biggest auto market has led to this development.
A few of the already-launched EVs in the Chinese market by General Motors include Cadillac CT6 Plug-In, Buick VELITE 5 extended-range EV and Baojun E100 EV. Further, the company plans to launch Buick’s VELITE 6 plug-in hybrid, followed by VELITE 6 EV. The company will continue its Chinese operations with its SAIC-GM joint venture to design and develop EV portfolio.
Moreover, General Motors will develop and test its battery systems at its lab in Shanghai, GM China Advanced Technical Center. Per management, it will continue to expand the EV portfolio, with various electric ranges and body styles, to meet the need of its customers in China.

The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
