GM races after Tesla with battery pack tech and solar deal
As for who GM sees as the biggest competitor of the lot, it's all about Tesla, GM's chief EV officer Travis Hester told Reuters.
"We're getting into the entire ecosystem of energy management … Our competition in this space on the side is really only Tesla, which is a strong energy management company. There are a lot of analogies you can draw with Tesla," Hester told the news agency.to topple Tesla as the top EV maker, and GM executives say they could do so by 2025.
As for these new Ultium's Home and Commercial battery units, the details are lacking. GM said the batteries will go on sale the same time as the 2024 Silverado EV, which is due out in fall 2023.[PDF] on GM Energy's website does little to clarify what the system is capable of, only providing numbers that say the new Silverado EV will be capable of keeping a home's lights on for up to 21 days.
That's far from satisfying to those who want to know how much competition Ultima will be for Tesla and other home energy systems. Unfortunately, a GM spokesperson told us the biz wasn't providing any hardware specs at this point, and that they would be"provided in future updates." ®
