GM has met the public\u2019s demand for cheaper EVs with choices like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/chevrolet\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chevrolet<\/a> Equinox EV, which starts at $33,600 without incentives \u2014 a price that\u2019s well below other compact electric SUV options, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tesla\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tesla<\/a>\u2019s Model Y, which starts $44,990 without the $7,500 federal tax credit. There\u2019s also the midsize Blazer EV, starting at $44,600 without incentives. GM is actively expanding its affordable EV options, with plans to release the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/news\/first-images-of-the-2027-chevrolet-bolt-euv-crossover-revealed\">redesigned Chevrolet Bolt<\/a> for the 2027 model year.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"reason-2-gm-is-investing-in-a-scalable-ev-platform\">Reason #2: GM is investing in a scalable EV platform<\/h2>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">In 2020, GM announced its investment in a scalable, flexible, and modular Ultium EV battery architecture platform. This investment enabled diversification of its electric portfolio and acted as a foundational element of the automaker\u2019s segment growth. In July, the company announced a joint venture with LG Energy Solution to upgrade its Spring Hill, Tennessee, battery cell manufacturing facility, aiming to scale production of low-cost lithium-iron-phosphate battery cells. This move was an expansion of GM\u2019s $2.3 billion investment in EVs and autonomous vehicle technology revealed in 2021. GM\u2019s ability to scale low-cost lithium-iron-phosphate battery cell production will accelerate the diversification of the company\u2019s EV portfolio by complementing its high-nickel and future lithium-manganese-rich battery solutions.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"styles_figureContainer__kdsyO wp-block-image size-full fade-in-top\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV 1LT\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1601\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 750px) 750px, calc(100vw -
