Simultaneously, the company is scaling its Ultium battery ecosystem with new plants in Ohio, Tennessee and Lansing, and pursuing further vertical integration to drive down cell costs. Executives project the EV division will achieve breakeven profitability this year, supported by recent launches of the Hummer EV, Chevy Silverado EV and Cadillac Lyriq.
