Like other global automakers, GM has been working through supply-chain disruptions for the last several quarters

CEO Mary Barra is betting that the electric vehicle platform GM unveiled five years ago will soon help the legacy automaker top its rivals on electric vehicles.

In their first rollouts of electric vehicles, America’s automakers targeted people who value short-range economy cars.

General Motors will keep its headquarters in its seven-building office tower complex in downtown Detroit, its CEO says.

General Motors will keep its headquarters in its seven-building office tower complex in downtown Detroit, its CEO says. Mary Barra, in an interview with The Associated Press, said the automaker's main office will remain in the Renaissance Center, the centerpiece of the city's skyline just across the Detroit River from Canada. “Our headquarters will always be in Detroit, in the RenCen,” she said, using the name given to the complex by locals.

The economy is a bit wobbly, but General Motors CEO Mary Barra isn’t backing off of an audacious prediction: She pledges that by the middle of this decade, her company will sell more electric vehicles in the U.S. than Tesla, the global sales leader.

Demand is strong for GM's upcoming rival to Ford's F-150 Lightning, which began production earlier today.

An electrified vehicle generally means a gas-electric hybrid or a plug-in rechargeable hybrid.

Toyota customers soon won’t be able to get U.S. federal tax credits for buying electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles.

General Motors CEO Mary Barra on Wednesday once again pushed back on spinning off its emerging electric vehicle battery business. Keeping the unit within GM will create more value for the company than spinning it off, Barra said. "For an electric vehicle, it's all about the battery," she said in an interview on "Squawk on the Street." Barra touted the company's plans to sell its Ultium battery cells as well as its Hydrotech fuel cell technology to other companies. Speculation and pressure from Wall Street about a potential spinoff of GM's electric vehicle operations has been rampant for some time.

Sorenson was the first Marriott CEO whose name was not Marriott, and only the third to lead the company in its 93-year history.

– The seemingly unstoppable rise of Bitcoin continued Tuesday with the cost of a single unit of the digital currency rising above $50,000 for the first time. Bitcoin is rallying as more companies signal the digital currency could eventually gain widespread acceptance as a means of payment. Some businesses also accept bitcoin, but its popularity has stalled out in recent years. Overstock.com appears to accept Bitcoin for most listings on its website, including cameras, vacuums and clothes. When this bubble bursts and at what price Bitcoin settles at is anyone’s guess,” Reiners said.

The Bolt Electric Utility Vehicle will go on sale early this summer as a 2022 model. About 2.5 million electric vehicles were sold worldwide last year. Fully electric vehicles accounted for less than 2% of U.S. new vehicle sales last year, and Americans continue to spend record amounts on larger gas-powered trucks and SUVs. IHS Markit analyst Stephanie Brinley said the new SUV is another step toward wider adoption of fully electric vehicles, but it will take many more. The credit is phased out after manufacturers hit 200,000 in electric vehicle sales, and GM and Tesla have both passed that level.

It also clouded the future for 50,000 GM workers whose skills — and jobs — could become obsolete far sooner than they knew. But President Joe Biden has made the development of a U.S. electric vehicle supply chain a key part of his ambitious plan to create 1 million more auto industry jobs with electric vehicles. The more environmentally focused plants of the future will need fewer workers, mainly because electric vehicles contain 30% to 40% fewer moving parts than petroleum-run vehicles. At the century-old transmission plant in Toledo, GM workers make sophisticated six-, eight-, nine- or 10-speed gearboxes. Eventually, those parts will be replaced by far simpler single-speed drivetrains for electric vehicles.

General Motors net profit fell 4.5% in 2020, but a strong second half more than offset the effects of pandemic-related factory closures and a costly air bag recall. (AP Photo/Richard Drew, File)DETROIT – General Motors' profit fell 4.5% in 2020, but a strong second half more than offset the effects of pandemic-related factory closures and a costly air bag recall. GM predicted the shortage will cost it $1.5 billion to $2 billion in earnings before taxes this year due to lost production. Still, GM expects pretax income for the year of $10 billion to $11 billion, or $4.50 to $5.25 per share. Of that, $6 billion would go to electric vehicles and $1 billion would go to autonomous, Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said.

DETROIT – General Motors is switching sides in the legal fight against California's right to set its own clean-air standards, abandoning the Trump administration as the president's term nears its close. CEO Mary Barra said in a letter Monday to environmental groups that GM will no longer support the Trump administration in its defense against a lawsuit over its efforts against California's standards. Already at least one other large automaker, Toyota, said it may join GM in switching to California's team. About a dozen other states follow California's standards. In September of 2019, Trump announced his administration would seek to revoke California’s congressionally granted authority to set standards that are stricter than those issued by federal regulators.

“More people may die if we don’t coordinate,” Biden told reporters during a news conference Monday in Wilmington, Delaware. The Trump administration is working on its own distribution plan, while Biden’s chief of staff indicated his transition team will proceed with their own planning separately because of the obstruction. Last week, a larger group of Republicans in Congress called on the Trump administration to allow Biden to begin receiving national security briefings. Since defeating Trump, Biden has devoted most of his public remarks to encouraging Americans to wear masks and embrace social distancing measures. But on whether Biden should receive coronavirus briefings, many of Trump's allies on Capitol Hill remained dug in.

There are now 26,000 electric vehicle charging stations open to the public in the U.S., with more than 84,000 plugs. Currently electric vehicles make up only about 1.3% of total new vehicle sales in the U.S., according to the Edmunds.com auto site. But the bulk of the nations public charging network is much slower. Electrify America now has over 450 charging stations in the U.S. with more than 2,000 fast-charging outlets, Moran said. Guidehouse analyst Sam Abuelsamid said the number of chargers is increasing rapidly and should be enough to meet demand as more electric vehicles are sold.

DETROIT - On the 24th day of the strike against General Motors, company CEO Mary Barra called United Auto Workers union President Gary Jones and Vice President Terry Dittes for a face-to-face meeting their first since the strike began, according to three sources familiar with the meeting. Other sources familiar with the meeting could not confirm discussion of the company's credit rating. Shares of GM closed slightly higher Thursday but are still down 11% since the start of the strike. Negotiations between GM and the union stalled over the weekend after the auto company rejected the union's latest contract proposal.

Last week Trump unleashed his latest twitter attack on GM, incorrectly suggesting that it was the company's plants in China that were responsible for the decision to shut down the four US plants. Once GM is done with this round of plant closings it will have 29 US plants, down from 33. Also, GM did not "move" any plants to China. Chinese plants do not ship many cars back to the United States, and do not have any impact on US factories. Many of the more than 3,000 hourly employees who worked at those plants in November have been offered jobs at other GM plants, and many have taken the offer to move.
