# General Motors revises electric strategy and expands range to hybrids > General Motors presents a new, more efficient electric platform, with batteries up to 20% smaller, while indicating it will reduce production costs for its electric vehicles. The automaker is nevertheless revising its all-electric strategy by adding hybrids to its range, starting with a three-row SUV, and unconfirmed reports say a Corvette SUV and an electric sports car have been dropped. In the United States, the elimination of electric vehicle subsidies by Donald Trump leads to General Motors' withdrawal and jeopardizes a US rare earths project, while tariffs and regulatory changes increase costs for the automaker. The sub-events provided focus almost exclusively on the US market; the British and Canadian coverage does not present, in these elements, a distinct national fact. **In brief**: Ongoing story bringing together 9 events involving General Motors, Cadillac, Chevrolet and 3 more, in 2 countries (États-Unis, Allemagne), followed from 1 November 2026 to 4 November 2026. 17 articles from 16 sources (electric and batteries, regulation and tariffs, sales and market and 1 more);
