WARREN, Mich., March 9, 2020 /3BL Media/ – General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) is gathering hundreds of employees, dealers, investors, analysts, media and policymakers to share details of its strategy to grow the company’s electric vehicle (EV) sales quickly, efficiently and profitably.

通用汽车董事长兼首席执行官玛丽·巴拉（Mary Barra）表示：“我们的团队接受了转变通用汽车公司开发的挑战，并将公司定位为全电动未来。”“我们所做的是建立一种具有规模经济的多品牌，多段电动汽车策略，使我们的全尺寸卡车业务与复杂性和更灵活性相比。”

通用汽车策略的核心是模块化推进系统和由专有Ultium电池提供动力的高度灵活的，第三代全球EV平台。他们将允许该公司几乎为当今市场上的每个客户竞争，无论他们正在寻找负担得起的运输，豪华体验，工作卡车还是高性能机器。

“Thousands of GM scientists, engineers and designers are working to execute an historic reinvention of the company,” said GM President Mark Reuss. “They are on the cusp of delivering a profitable EV business that can satisfy millions of customers.”

Ultium电池和推进系统突出显示

• GM’s new Ultium batteries are unique in the industry because the large-format, pouch-style cells can be stacked vertically or horizontally inside the battery pack. This allows engineers to optimize battery energy storage and layout for each vehicle design.
• Ultium energy options range from 50 to 200 kWh, which could enable a GM-estimated range up to 400 miles or more on a full charge with 0 to 60 mph acceleration as low as 3 seconds. Motors designed in-house will support front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and performance all-wheel drive applications.
• Ultium驱动的电动汽车设计用于2级和直流快速充电。大多数将具有400伏电池组和最多200千瓦的快速充电能力，而我们的卡车平台将具有800伏电池组和350 kW的快速充电能力。

GM’s flexible, modular approach to EV development will drive significant economies of scale and create new revenue opportunities, including:

• 电池成本不断提高：GM’s joint venture with LG Chem will drive battery cell costs below $100/kWh. The cells use a proprietary low cobalt chemistry and ongoing technological and manufacturing breakthroughs will drive costs even lower
• 灵活性：通用汽车的全新全球平台足够灵活，可以建造各种各样的卡车，SUV，跨界车，汽车和商用车，具有出色的设计，性能，包装，范围和负担能力。
• 资本效率：通用汽车可以减少资金来扩展其电动汽车业务，因为它能够利用现有财产，包括土地，建筑物，工具和生产设备，例如车身商店和油漆商店。
• Complexity Reduction: The vehicle and propulsion systems were designed together to minimize complexity and part counts beyond today’s EVs, which are less complex than conventional vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. For example, GM plans 19 different battery and drive unit configurations initially, compared with 550 internal combustion powertrain combinations available today.
• 客户接受程度上升: Third-party forecasters expect U.S. EV volumes to more than double from 2025 to 2030 to about 3 million units on average. GM believes volumes could be materially higher as more EVs are launched in popular segments, charging networks grow and the total cost of ownership to consumers continues to fall.
• 新收入来源：By vertically integrating the manufacture of battery cells, the company can reach beyond its own fleet and license technology to others.

The first generation of GM’s future EV program will be profitable. The initial programs will pave the way for further accretive growth. GM’s technology can be scaled to meet customer demand much higher than the more than 1 million global sales the company expects mid-decade.

即将发布和揭示

Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick will all be launching new EVs starting this year. The next new Chevrolet EV will be a new version of the Bolt EV, launching in late 2020, followed by the 2022 Bolt EUV, launching Summer 2021. The Bolt EUV will be the first vehicle outside of the Cadillac brand to feature Super Cruise, the industry's first true hands-free driving technology for the highway, which GM will expand to 22 vehicles by 2023, including 10 by next year.

邮轮起源是一种自动驾驶的电动汽车，于2020年1月在旧金山向公众展示，是使用通用汽车的第三代电动汽车平台和Ultium电池揭示的第一个产品。接下来是四月的凯迪拉克·利利克豪华SUV。然后将共享有关其发布的详细信息。最终驱动的GMC悍马电动汽车的揭示将于5月20日进行。预计生产将于2021年秋季在通用汽车的底特律 - 汉特拉姆克装配厂开始，这是通用汽车的第一家装配厂100％专用于EV生产的装配厂。
