Mary Barra, GM Chairman and CEO revealed that the automotive group will be increasing its initial EV budget set before the onset of the pandemic - from US$20 billion to US$27 billion through 2025. That's more than half of the company's capital spending.

GM will engage more than half of its product development team for the task. Further, it will soon be hiring 3,000 additional engineers for controls, infotainment systems, and electrical systems. Also, it will bring in more developers for Android, Java, and iOS.
