CEO: GM Can “Absolutely” Catch Tesla in Electric Vehicle Sales
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Electric Cars, * Tesla still heavily dominates EV sales in the United States, but there are signs that its market share is becoming smaller. When it comes to Electric Vehichle (EV) technology and sales, most would consider Tesla to have a leg up on the competition. But that doesn’t mean that other auto companies are sitting back and letting Elon Musk and his next-gen vehicles reap all the rewards. On Wednesday, General Motors CEO Mary Barra confirmed that she is banking on a huge turnaround in the EV space, as she stated that General Motors can “absolutely” c... read more
