GM Plans to be Carbon Neutral by 2040
Our commitments align with Governor Whitmer’s goal for
Michigan to become carbon-neutral by 2050:

• GM plans to be carbon neutral by 2040 in its global products and
  operations
      This includes the use of 100% renewable energy by 2030 in the United
      States and by 2040 globally

• GM aspires to eliminate tailpipe emissions from new light-duty
  vehicles by 2035

• GM has set Science-Based Targets (SBTs) and committed to the
  Business Ambition Pledge for 1.5⁰C

                                                                             2

EV Infrastructure is Critical
• Charging infrastructure is a critical component of the EV ecosystem — EV buyers need to feel
  confident that they can ‘refuel’ their vehicle in a fast, convenient manner

• A public infrastructure needs to be in place to facilitate EV growth

• Key areas for ‘public’ infrastructure are:
      Multi-unit dwellings & residential street parking — especially for cities such as
      Ann Arbor, Detroit, and Grand Rapids
      Workplaces
      Fast chargers along key travel corridors — for example, “Up North” travel routes

• GM efforts include a partnership with EVGo and Ultium Charge 360

                                                                                                 4
General Motors' Commitment to a Carbon Neutral and Electric Vehicle Future - Barbara Kiss, Director, General Motors
Incentives Help Drive Adoption
• Repeated evidence demonstrates that customer
  incentives, like tax credits or sales rebates,
  significantly drive interest, and ultimately sales,
  of electric vehicles

• Federal & state incentives are critical for driving
  EV adoption

• Incentives should remain in place until the
  industry has climbed the initial part of the
  adoption curve
                                                                                          EV sales before and after $5,000 state tax credit
                                                                                                         for EVs in Georgia

Emphasize Renewable Electricity
Our collective success requires all stakeholders do their part
• All elements need to work together to create a robust, sustainable, U.S. electric vehicle market
  that helps create a carbon neutral economy
        To truly do their part to unlock a carbon-free transportation sector, electric vehicles need to plug in to a
        green grid
        Continuing to expand renewable electricity generation in Michigan will mean that pure electric vehicles
        are the only transportation solution in our state that gets cleaner as time goes on

                                                                                                                       6

Michigan Opportunities
Michigan should investigate programs that enable – and fund – its carbon neutral goals

For example: Low Carbon Fuel Standards (LCFS),
a Market-Based Approach with Many Benefits
• LCFS policies require a reduction in the carbon
  intensity of transportation fuels, thereby:
       Incentivizing the use of lower-carbon fuels, such
       as electricity
       Reducing transportation emissions

• LCFS policies also create new revenues that
  can be used to fund EV purchase incentives or
  charger investments
                                                           LCFS Policies are Succeeding
                                                                 Across the U.S.

                                                                                          7

Carbon Neutral Michigan: The Path to Success
GM believes a focus on four key areas would advance Governor Whitmer’s agenda
and set Michigan on a course to carbon-neutrality by 2050:

• Widespread EV charging infrastructure that supports charging at home, work, and on
  the road

• Durable and meaningful EV purchase incentives

• Continued efforts to accelerate renewable energy generation in Michigan

• Implementing a complementary policy — such as a Low Carbon Fuel Standard — to support
  the growth of the clean transportation market while creating a new source of funding

                                                                                          8
