General Motors will reveal a new electric vehicle (EV), the Chevy Silverado, at the Consumer Electronics Show 2022. Last year, GM announced its Ultium Platform, a system geared at getting everyone into EVs. The company is aiming to create 30 EVs by 2025. The Ultium system will go into all of these vehicles. GM has started on this goal by announcing other EVs this year. GMC announced the Hummer EV Pickup and SUV. Chevrolet also revealed its Bolt EUV. Before the Ultium Platform, Chevrolet released the Bolt EV in 2016. Unfortunately, Bolt EV models from 2017 and 2022 and the 2022 Bolt EVU were recalled due to a problem with the battery pack.
The most known company for EVs, Tesla, has had battery issues, too, leading it to create a new battery to prevent fires. GM isn’t the only car company creating alternatives to Tesla. Porsche and Lamborghini have their own high-end versions. The Porsche Taycan had battery issues. too. More budget-friendly options include Hyundai Kona Electric, Mini Cooper SE, Ford Mustang Mach-E SUV, and the Nissan Ariya. All are under 45 thousand dollars.
