In a recent interview, General Motors’ president Mark Reuss went over what he believes to be several misconceptions buyers and manufacturers have about EVs.
Speaking with Business Insider, Reuss first discussed hybrids. He believes they are unnecessary in 2022 and insisted GM has no plans to dilute its investment into electrification with hybrids. Reuss also went over concerns that EVs will overload the grid. He stated that GM is already working to solve this issue and mentioned vehicle-to-vehicle charging and sending unused energy back to the grid during peak hours as possible solutions.
He also addressed concerns about charging-industry consolidation. A lot of charging startups have emerged in recent years, however now many are merging together. He doesn’t think it’s a bad thing and believes partnerships are important for delivering adequate charging infrastructure.
