General Motors Vice President Of Electric Car Programs, Pam Fletcher, has earned the 2017 Henry Ford II Distinguished Award for Excellence in Automotive Engineering.
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) bestowed Fletcher with the award on Wednesday and noted Fletcher’s work in leading GM’s entire global electric vehicle portfolio. She’s been an integral part to GM’s electric-car strategy, which will include 20 new battery-electric cars by 2023. Prior to her current role, Fletcher also led the teams responsible for the development of the second-generation Chevrolet Volt, the Chevrolet Spark EV and the 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV.
Fletcher’s team also worked and led development on GM’s semi self-driving technology, Super Cruise. The technology debuted on the 2018 Cadillac CT6 last year, but the system will reach additional GM brands post-2020.

Hey, Sean, did you see what happened last night in Ontario, Canada? Your Canadian buddies to the north of you kicked out the left-wing Liberal government you loved so much and voted in a Pro-Trump Conservative party.
Any thoughts? You had a lot to say before…
You don’t even know the difference between a provincial election and a federal election.
You also seem to think that Canadian politics is just a maple-flavoured version of American politics.
Maybe this will get under someones skin, I don’t expect much activity but thumb downs are welcomed…How were the 2-3 state Spark EV sales, how are the slow charging, sunroofless and manual seated Volt sales, how are the uncomfortable seated and glared dashboard ACC-less Bolt EV sales and of the ENTIRE sub-2,500 Q1 CT6 sales, how many payed the premium for SuperCruise? Why was Cruise Automation acquired for $1B BEFORE the first CT6 was delivered with SuperCruise? I could go on and on (if the vehicles you led, the Volt and Bolt, aren’t the primary vehicle you drive, how would you have made it differently? And, you’re a rockstar if you arrive in a Vette/Camaro/Silverado yet are a loser if you show up in your vehicles like the Volt/Bolt EV which you led)…Nobody likes the truth…
My Volts are the best cars i have ever owned from all aspects – except wish they were a little bigger. Looks at a Bolt ev today and that offers more inside room. Great engineering job,
Don
Well done, congrats to Pam Fletcher.
