Do you think Ultium batteries can change the game of Electric Cars?

Modular propulsion and a highly adaptable third-generation global EV platform, both powered by exclusive Ultium batteries, are at the core of General Motors’ approach. They will enable the business to compete with almost any consumer on the market right now, whether they’re seeking work trucks, high-performance machinery, or luxury experiences.

How about for cheap compact and subcompact cars for around 20 to 25k? Doesn't matter how much better one EV is over the other if I can't afford it.

The answer is China. They have EVs there from $5,000 to $150,000 and it's around 30% market share there.

Chinese EVs are about to invade Europe en masse.

And then they hit another country that doesn't disregard safety features and the price balloons by $20k.

You can buy one for 26k and to be honest there aren’t many new vehicles worth a damn that’s cheaper than that, it’s not fair but it’s probably as good as one can expect from anything worth buying.

Sounds like their problem is that they are expecting to compete WITH customers, and not FOR customers.
