Ultium Platform: GM's Big Bet For Global EV Leadership. Tim Grewe, Director of Electrification Strategy, General Motors.

GM's has ambitious plans when it comes to electric vehicles. CEO Mary Barra says the company will be selling 1 million EVs a year by 2026, surpassing Tesla. That projected 2026 number will include everything from the just-launched $100,000 all-electric Hummers to $60,000 Cadillacs to sub-$30,000 offerings co-developed with Honda. How likely is the 114 year-old company to achieve its lofty goals? Much depends on the success of the Ultium battery platform. "Before GM got too far down the road in EVs, it had to figure out how to turn a profit on EVs," says Car and Driver. So, at the heart of GM's strategy for leadership in EVs is a brand new battery architecture called the Ultium Platform. In this week's Driving With Dunne podcast I am joined by Tim Grewe, Director of Electrification at General Motors. Mr Grewe takes us inside the world of the Ultium platform to show how it is designed to give GM a decisive edge over the competition when it comes to costs, range, reliability and safety.
