We are committed to investing in the U.S., our employees and our communities. These investments underscore the success of our vehicles today, and our vision of an all-electric future.
Michigan Investments include:

GM will also invest $2 billion in Spring Hill Manufacturing to build fully electric vehicles including the Cadillac Lyriq.
In other GM news, the company is set to finally reveal the revamped 2022 Electric Hummer today at 8 p.m. I'm really excited to see all the details on this thing. We're not sure of the exact price of the Hummer but it's rumored to start at around $70K...way out of my price range.
