General Motors is reportedly planning to develop a new electric vehicle that would rival Tesla Model S’ range at around 200 miles (322 kilometers) and generate more than twice the range of a Chevrolet Spark EV.
This piece of information comes via GM global product development chief Doug Parks, who told the Associated Press that a 200-mile EV cheaper than the Tesla Model S could see the light of day in the near future.
“Their pricing is up there for a real unique customer,” Parks said of the Tesla Model S. “The real trick will be who can do a 200-mile car for more of the price range I’m talking about. We’re all in races to do that,” he added.
General Motors recently expanded its Detroit battery lab where battery technologies will tested and developed before being fitted into future electric vehicles, including the next-gen Chevrolet Volt, that’s expected to arrive with a 20 percent range increase.
