Despite everything that has happened over the past few months, the technology of next-generation GM batteries "Ultium" and the electric cars that will use them are still under development as per the schedule set by the company. This was one of the key elements in General Motors' 10th annual sustainability report, which provides analysts, investors and the media with regular updates on the automaker's quest to become more sustainable.
Indeed, despite nationwide closures in the United States and switching to remote work whenever possible, every one of GM's Ultium battery programs is still on schedule. The list of cars that will depend on this battery includes some attractive vehicles, such as a new Chevrolet pickup.

And all the details of the Chevrolet pick-up car that it will only provide "644 range" in one shipment.
