“GM is currently assessing potential future investment,” GM spokesperson George Svigos said in a statement, adding: “No final decision has been made. GM is committed to an all-EV future globally. On that pathway, we continue to study consumer preferences and powertrain options, to ensure we best respond to customer demand and comply with an uncertain, complex and increasingly stringent regulatory landscape for 2027 and beyond.”
The last thing GM needs to do is build hybrids. They’re twice as complex as BEV and ICE, both of which they can’t build for shit right now. What makes anyone think combining them would somehow make a better product?
Either GM relegates itself to a forever-inferior station within the automotive world, or they develop a great aptitude at Hybrids. GM did a very good job with the Volt. BEVs shouldn’t be. Hybrids enhance the performance and efficiency of IC powertrains. It’s like a critical feature. It makes internal combustion get ~30-50% more efficiency to the gallon, and better performance, too.
