The North American International Auto Show, also known as the Detroit Auto Show, is under way now, and President Joe Biden is in attendance for a tour of the latest GM vehicles.
The General’s exhibits at the Detroit Auto Show include a wide variety of EVs, with all four North American GM brands showing off at least one all-electric model. At the Chevy booth, these include the new Chevy Equinox EV and Chevy Blazer EV crossovers, the Chevy Silverado EV pickup, as well as the Chevy Bolt EV and Bolt EUV. GMC is showcasing the GMC Hummer EV Pickup and Hummer EV SUV, while Cadillac is showcasing the Cadillac Lyriq luxury crossover. Finally, the new Wildcat EV concept is on display at the Buick booth.
Each of these new GM EV models (with the exception of the Chevy Bolt EV and Chevy Bolt EUV) incorporates GM’s latest Ultium technology, including GM Ultium drive motors and GM Ultium battery packs, plus one of GM’s skateboard-type EV platforms, BT1 or BEV3. The use of these platforms and technologies enables GM to produce a wide variety of EVs across several different segments, with a wealth of new EV models offering varying levels of performance, pricing, and range.
With Biden’s recent visit to the 2022 Detroit Auto Show, GM reiterated its commitment to EV production and investment in U.S. manufacturing, once again stating that it aims to reach 1 million units of annual EV production capacity in North America by the 2025 calendar year. The latest major U.S. investments include the GM Factory Zero plant in Michigan (previously known as Detroit-Hamtramck, 2,200 jobs, $2.2 billion invested), the GM Orion plant in Michigan (2,350 jobs created, 1,000 jobs retained, $4 billion invested), the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee (3,200 jobs, $2 billion invested), and Lockport Components in New York (230 jobs, $154 million invested).

Additionally, GM is investing billions into the creation of new battery production facilities in the U.S. through its Ultium Cells joint venture with LG, including the recently opened Ultium Cells plant in Ohio, and the construction of new facilities in Michigan and Tennessee.

It would be nice if there was a caption identifying the people standing with Biden in front of the Silverado EV.
Post has been updated
Forget Government Motors, it’s officially Biden Motors
Joe spent a lot of time in Corvette(ICE) SPEAKING of wewe pads, Mary probably peed herself fawning over Joe.
maybe he was asking her what kind of mileage this thing gets.like he really cares about oil and fuel prices
do the new gmc sierra come in convertable as well. duck the dum stuff. Biden looks good working for US
80 million votes!!!! The most popular president in US history.
Ya, okay
Yeah sure…80 + 73 = 153 million, more votes than registered voters…interesting.
Ha! Yer info’s a bit off. The number of registered voters, that is….
Yeah…him standing with that “crowd” of four reminds me of his campaign events – where there were more reporters than voters.
Unlike the Orange one, who had to pay people to show up to his early rallies….
You got a link to back that up?
Biden can’t fill a conference room, Trump over fills big stadiums. Biden falls up stairs and off his bike. Biden tries to shake hands with people that are not there. Biden reads words on teleprompter that he should not say out loud “Repeat the line”. Biden needs Que cards to remind him to know what order to do things in. Biden has been a leech on taxpayers for close to 50 years, he never had a real job. Biden is lucky to remember to wipe his own arse after taking a dump. Don’t even try and compare the 2 men, Biden is weak, where Trump is strong.
I saw this fool on TV raving the car like a idiot.
For God Sake act like you have driven more than your driveway.
I hope you are a comedian. Biden has a collection of cars. Do your research because its you who is the idiot.
I don’t know if you folks know it but he said like the Corvette better than the other ones he also owns them collects them to a degree but he wants you and I and everyone else to drive electric vehicles we won’t have the infrastructure anytime soon for that on top of that or infrastructure is getting worse Look at California and look at Texas last winter how you going to charge them idiotic
in his basement with his slot cars
Seems to be some frustrated Trump fans here. By the next month you guys will be crying after seeing Trump in cuffs.
Based on a fake dossier prepared by a Russian on the FBI informant payroll.
If its on the internet it must be true.
@GM Fan
Yawn people have heard that for the last 6 years. You sound desperate.
all the while Hunter Biden gets away free.
I see the same people on here making comments about our President like a bunch of school girls who hate the other girls because they did something that’s not offensive to the world.
So how about this. It’s a good thing the orange fat turd from Florida wasn’t in the picture with the orange Vette. We wouldn’t be able to distinguish it from the car. But then again he wouldn’t be able to fit his fat behind into the Vette anyhow.
You sound like one of those school girls yourself.
Pinheads like you will learn a valuable lesson in November!
DFM: Like what? Are you referring to Steve D or me?
I just hope these MAGA fools aren’t planning another insurrection. We’re not done dealing with the first one attempting to murder the (REPBULICAN) VP and overthrow our now fragile democracy. Shame on them and shame on anyone thinking about doing it again.
Only an idiot will believe that.. you had a people waving them in to congress. It was sad but the majority didn’t just a few radicals, and we all know it was unacceptable.
It’s funny how almost all the news media that was liberal are losing money. They can’t blame Trump no more.. our “fragile democracy “ was only made fragile by their radical ideologies that have divided people under Trump’s administration with false lies and knowingly doing it. But now people are paying more than they ever paid for and they can’t seem to believe because it’s not Trump’s fault lol
@ Dan B
How can you call anyone a school girl when you just said fat orange turd? Sounds like a pretty childish statement to me, aren’t you like 50+ and still talk like that?
James: It was very intentional. To make a point, and obviously I did.
No, that’s not how I talk in daily life. I was “acting” like the MAGA/Maggot crowd to make a point.
do you really believe Biden is out to make America great? Think about it long and hard before you answer. I’d say his actions on his first day in office debunks that big time. Plus everything he has done since the clowns first day in office.
Wow, it’s like people who don’t know anything try to explain how to do something..
Taking notes from the man occupying the White House.
Famous motto for democrats… do as I say not as I do.. well if your Joe Biden you do nothing.
Everyone who defends Biden say well we got 80 million votes!! Lol
But what has he done?? Hello? Like we are hiding the fact that we are at a recession level economy.. but let’s put our heads in the sand and blame on the next guy.. lol
Can we please keep this a Car / GM blog instead of a political blog? As a non-US citizen, I find it shocking to see how people talk in this way about Presidents, whether current or past. There’s no merit in this behavior – it just destroys America’s star abroad, and I’m sure China and Russia just love to see this happening.
Maybe learn from the strong sense of unity and respect people have shown towards the unfortunate passing of QE II, regardless of whether they support a monarchy or not.
You’re absolutely right Mike, China and Russia LOVE seeing a divided America and actively promote division via inflammatory memes placed on Fakebook which most Americans still haven’t figured out they’re being manipulated by! Idiot America indeed.
What many find “shocking” is the State of the Union. Millions of us are more concerned about the harm being caused by this Administration then what you are any non-resident believe. And there’s no doubt China & Russia are taking full advantage of this chaotic Administration. Respect is earned, not assigned. Queen Elizabeth has earned it, Biden has not. He continues to diminish the Office of the President. November will make our position clear.
And just how is Biden ‘diminishing’ the Presidency? By calling out Magaworld for what it is? Wake up.
It’s nice having a REAL President again. You go Joe!
So Huey: Highest inflation in decades, skyrocketing food prices, border chaos, sinking stock market, crime exploding, and your response is “Fox News”. Do you have a 401K? Have you looked at it? It’s mindboggling people like you continue to support this failing Administration. On the other hand, maybe it’s not. Either way, you’ll clearly understand in November.
High inflation is global issue caused by the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, which are causing supply disruptions. The sinking stock market is being intentionally caused by the Fed raising interest rates to slow inflation. My 401K is fine because I don’t need the money now and I accumulate more shares when the values are lower. The border crisis is real and needs to be dealt with. Biden’s approval rating are up and so is the outlook for Dems in November. Trump caused a deadly riot on the capitol and then did nothing to stop it. For that alone he belongs in jail, not to mention all the other crimes he’s committed (attempting to overturn the election, not returning top secret documents to the FBI and DOJ when requested, tax fraud, etc. Not sure what movie you’re watching, but it’s pure fiction.
You live in a fantasy world. Again, you’ll clearly understand in November.
And so will you 😉
DFM: After reading some of your dilutional postings, I now understand that you were speaking to me above and referring to me as a pinhead.
Take you maggot infested self and move to Russia or some other country that hated democracy. You, sir are sickening. And you are right. This November will be the turning point. Either this country will vote to save what’s left of it or they will vote to turn us into the laughing stock of the world. It’s clear what choice you have made. Shame on you and those that threaten this country with the trash you spew.
GMC Fan: You really aren’t suggesting that Biden, who has and still does suffer (like many) with a stutter, is bad because of it? Because if you are, then let’s play the montage of the orange turd from Florida and it’s messed up speeches and words. To which there are many.
And you’re ok with Trump? Hmm. Interesting. Sounds like you may need to look in the mirror when throwing that barb.
Huey, Trump caused a deadly riot? According to who.
According to people with eyes, ears and brains 😉
Huey4417: Great comment. You just put it all front and center. But the problem is that this country needs more people who see what’s really going on and not just party-line loyalists. I love how you countered with facts while DFM and others just spew more lies and garbage.
The blind leading the blind
I know that’s right
Need to replace Joe and Mary. On top of that don’t talk to me about EV’s until you talk to me about 400,000 new fast chargers in place and all the new power production facilities in place along with infrastructure to support them.
You realize we’re gonna need that new power-supply infrastructure yer talking about whether we have EVs or not, right? And it’s gonna cost a lot of money. So get ready to really start kicking and screaming….
Lotta folk here who don’t seem to like the idea of a bunch of new jobs sprouting up around the country….
Oh man don’t say s***ty a**, he was sitting in those cars, I hope his Depends hold up.
1 million units of GM annual EV production capacity in North America by the 2025 calendar year. GM has invested over 5B for EVs’ facilities, parts, and production. As I commented in previous articles, GM’s strategy and focus has changed to EVs. If they would have only taken a few hundred million out of their EV budget and put it toward the rollout, parts and production of the Z06 maybe the people who would like to order one, like me, would be able to get one! Based on this article, I know I like others will never get a Z06. The handwriting is on the wall. They want us all in an EV Corvette.
After GM goes all EV in 2035, Chrysler in 2028 and Ford in ?, who will build the ICE, or EV alternative for the drivers who will not have ready access to charging stations. Many high density apartment buildings will probably not be able to retrofit the number of chargers for their tenants. Street chargers incorporated into parking meters?
Good used ICE autos will be in high demand..
Who knows, maybe China will come to our rescue with inexpensive Chery copycat reproductions.
California alone will have to double it’s electrical output, while it continues to remove conventional power generation plants from the grid. Plans are for a massive increase in solar plants, and that’s where electric cars become part of the electrical grid—bidirectional charging, the car batteries become the nighttime batteries for the grid. Will the government control your EV’s charging schedule?
California will be massively expanding its solar capabilities in the next decade. The canal bringing water down to SoCal from the north is beginning to be covered with solar panels, boosting energy production as well as cutting down water evaporation from the canal.
Similarly, large sections of freeways will eventually be covered with solar panels.
You obviously have too much time on your hands; let’s your little mind run wild with fantasies about the evil gummint. Don’t worry, we’ll still be able to buy ICE vehicles; plenty of manufacturers will keep them around–some might even just stick with an all-ICE lineup. You might have to go to a state that allows their sale in order to buy one, but that’s an opportunity to open up a whole new car-sales window. Also, we need to seriously revamp our electrical-delivery system, and right now, regardless of EVs. Especially with more and more air conditioners running longer and longer (wonder why that is….). Plus, why are there still so many wires above ground? It’s the 21rst Century. Let’s act like it. It’s gonna cost money–lots of it. So put on yer little-boy pants and get ready to throw some tantrums. And, finally, way to take something cool like bi-directional charging and twist it so out of shape it turns into something you can rant about….
Addition to the EV situation people are not thinking about the times that they leave their cars plugged in on charge and some clown walks by and pulls them out or someone drives up takes the court out of your car and push it in their own car to steal your electricity then you come back and your car is not charged in either case new can of worms huh
My Tesla locks the charge cable and any adaptors to the car until the lock is released to prevent that issue, I believe all EV’s do so, but I could be wrong.
See Joe at the auto show in a gas powered Corvette I guess he doesn’t like electric vehicles shoves them down everybody else’s throat though
All the fools that voted for Biden, just because they hated Trump, now it’s time to eat crow. I hope your finances suck as bad as mine, since that moron took office. I hope and prey that Trump runs again and gets back in the White House. This country is in the toilet. We need Trump to make it GREAT AGAIN.
Yes Andy I have to agree the home heating oil is twice the amount it was last year and they say they’re trying to help Americans I think they’re trying to bury us but some people think that he’s the best thing since sliced bread unbelievable
DELUSIONAL X 10.
Funny Joe spent most of his time with Mary! Now we know why. GM hired an associate of Joe paying him 350G a year. The pay for play continues at GM! Mary is the worst thing for GM falling into the Biden cult!
I can guarantee you that Biden had no clue where he was or why he was there. He was told what to do by his handlers the entire photo op day. One of his secret service team could yell out “Duck” and Biden would go Mooo.
