جنرال موتورز تواجه تحديات في إنتاج السيارات الكهربائية

جنرال موتورز (GM) is wrestling with the production of their electric vehicles, as revealed by a top executive this Wednesday. GM’s Chief Financial Officer, Paul Jacobson, speaking at a J.P. Morgan investor conference, pointed out issues concerning the assembly of battery modules.

هذا التحدي، الذي يؤثر على كل شيء من كاديلاك Lyriq SUVs to BrightDrop vans, was “a stumbling block first noted last week by Chief Executive Mary Barra.”

Although GM produced over 1,000 Lyriqs in July, the figures are still underwhelming, especially when contrasted with the company’s initial targets. To illustrate, GM had anticipated rolling out 25,000 Lyriqs from its Spring Hill, تينيسي منشأة في العام السابق ولكنها لم تنجح. في الواقع، في النصف الأول من العام الحالي، تمكنت جنرال موتورز من يُقال تزويد العملاء بأقل من 2400 ليريك فقط بسبب هذه المضاعفات.

However, it’s not all grim for GM. Jacobson highlighted the Cruise automated vehicle operation, noting it’s entering a “big phase of operational expansion.” With over 400 vehicles now on streets, Cruise has “largely solved all the technology challenges” and remains focused on achieving “$1 billion in revenue in 2025,” as operational costs decrease.
