It's a long way off but, hey, they are making it official.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2021/01/28/general-motors-electric/
GM has said it would invest $27 billion in electric vehicles and
associated products between 2020 and 2025, ... includes refurbishing
factories and investing in battery production in conjunction with LG
Chem, a South Korean battery maker.
By late 2025, about 40 percent of the company’s U.S. models will be
battery-powered electric vehicles,
The electric-vehicle industry has grown exponentially in the past decade
but still represents less than 2 percent of automobiles sold in the
United States.
The timing of the GM announcement was tied in large part to the election
of Joe Biden ... Biden signed an executive order that calls for the
federal fleet of approximately 645,000 vehicles to be converted to
electric power. He has also vowed to expand charging stations for
electric cars, revise and extend electric-vehicle tax credits and
tighten fuel economy standards for gas-powered vehicles.
Volkswagen, for example, is planning to launch almost 70 new electric
models in the next 10 years... Ford ... is spending $11.5 billion
through 2022 on new EVs. Tesla plans to increase sales of its
all-electric fleet.
