Electrification
We’re committed to putting every driver in an electric vehicle on a scale previously unseen and bringing the world to an all-electric future.

Our new Ultium Platform will help put everyone in an EV, moving us closer to a world with zero emissions.
General Motors’ all-new modular Ultium Platform will be the heartbeat of our all-electric future—and thanks to Ultium’s pouch cell design, we will easily accommodate a wide range of EV styles and sizes.
GM’s Ultium platform, which features modular battery and drive unit combinations, is flexible enough to build a wide range of trucks, SUVs, crossovers, cars and commercial vehicles with outstanding design, performance, range and affordability.
With a modular, flexible design and a common cell across different vehicle types, the battery is the heart of the Ultium system. The system uses cells stacked vertically (pickups and SUVs) or horizontally (performance vehicles), allowing us to build electric vehicles for every customer and segment.
Ultium Drive, made up of electric motors, single-speed transmissions and their integrated power electronics, gives our EVs their power and torque.
GM will be the first automaker to use an almost completely wireless battery management system for EVs. The system will power multiple types of EVs from a common set of battery components and make our batteries easier to reuse for second-life applications.
Andy Oury, lead engineer for high-voltage battery packs, and his team are constantly learning from each other to create, innovate, design and produce the best batteries.
