GM Electric Vehicle Update: Here’s The Automaker’s EV Plans For 2021 And Beyond

General Motors (GM) has reportedly debuted the next all-electric models in its vehicle lineup, including the new Cadillac Celestiq sedan.

GM plans to introduce 22 EVs by 2023, with these vehicles ready for the U.S. and Chinese markets by 2025. The automaker also said it plans to sell 1 million electric vehicles a year in those two markets alone over the next five years, the Detroit Free Press reported.

"We want to put everyone in an EV and we have what it takes to do it," GM CEO Mary Barra said at a media event, where the automaker’s electric vehicle plans were announced.

Included in the electric introductions at GM’s Warren Technical Center was the Celestiq – an all-electric sedan that will be the flagship model under the Cadillac brand - hand-built in Michigan, Business Insider reported.

"It's a dream car for this company and our customers," GM President Mark Reuss said at the event. "It's the ultimate expression of Cadillac design and technology, and the ultimate luxury experience."

GM said the entire line under the Cadillac brand could be electric by 2030.

The launch of the Celestiq is expected to come behind the new all-electric Lyrig SUV, which is reportedly slated to arrive in April. A new version of the Chevy Bolt will reportedly arrive later in 2020, and the electric Chevy Bolt SUV will launch in the summer of 2021, featuring hands-free driving technology.

GM also discussed its new battery design, which has been dubbed the Ultium. The Ultium incorporates a modular and scalable battery architecture that could lower battery costs for GM and its customers, allowing for a 400-mile driving range on a single charge, while supporting zero to 60 mph in three seconds..

"What we have done is build a multi-brand, multi-segment EV strategy with economies of scale that rival our full-size truck business with much less complexity and even more flexibility," said Barra.
