General Motors’ Commitment to a
Carbon Neutral and Electric Vehicle Future
Barbara Kiss, Director, General Motors
Confidential
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

GM’s EV Investment
GM is committing $35 billion to EVs and AVs through 2025
U.S. Examples
Orion Township, Michigan - $300M
Bolt EV & EUV, mid-2021
Detroit-Hamtramck, Michigan - $2.2B
Factory Zero assembly plant: EV Trucks, SUVs & Cruise Origin AV
HUMMER EV, late 2021 / Chevy Silverado EV
Lordstown, Ohio & Spring Hill, Tenn. - $4.6B GM / LG Joint Venture
Ultium Cell Battery Manufacturing
Lordstown completion 2022
Spring Hill, Tenn. - $2B
EVs including Cadillac Lyriq, early 2022

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
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

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.

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
