GM to Reintroduce Plug-In Hybrid Cars Amid Challenges in Transitioning to All-Electric Vehicle Lineup

General Motors (GM), America’s largest automaker, has announced it will reintroduce a gasoline-electric car with a plug, a move that GM had previously abandoned. The move comes three years after GM promised to become “all in” on electric vehicles and turn away from gasoline altogether. The company’s CEO, Mary Barra, did not specify which models would be converted or a specific timeline. This shift underscores the difficulty of traditional automakers in transitioning to electric vehicles in a difficult time space. GM’s decision to reintroduce the plug-in hybrid does not mean it is retreating from its plan to produce only electric vehicles by 2035.
