@GM A total new battery nobody understands but a smarter, cheaper system that fits how people actually drive.

@GM .. around the battery 6-. Fast-swap fleet systems ( but targeted). 7- Hybrid battery pack (LFP + high density cells + smart software.

@GM …. software. 8- Recycling and supply chain control. Innovation: 1- Smart hybrid battery; adaptive chemistry pack. 2- Modular battery packs (upgradable car). 3- Ultra-efficient thermal system. 4- AI battery management (underrated goldmine). 5- Light weighting everything ..

@GM Essential battery design: 1- Use cheaper materials (biggest leaver). 2- Make bigger, simpler cells. 3- Structural battery packs. 4- Manufacture at massive scale. 5- Improve yield (less waste). 6- Optimize for “good enough” not maximum range. 7- Better battery management ….

@business @CNBC @FoxBusiness @NPR @MSNOWNews @CNN @FoxNews Cheaper batteries and better kWh are on the way! @GM

@GM ✔️Simple version. If GM does these three things well: 1 Affordable EV that people actually buy. 2 Lower battery costs fast. 3 Simpler production. They stay a top global automaker.

@GM Vehicles like the Silverado fund everything. Strategy: Keep gas trucks strong. Gradually electrify them. Don’t rush customers before they’re ready. Thank you for your thoughts and consideration. Sincerely.

@GM Fix Software: UI is less smooth. Updates are slower. Ecosystem is weaker. GM should: Treat software like a core product. Push frequent updates. Improve app + in-car experience.

@GM still operates like an “Old school” automaker. Too many trims. Too many configurations. Complex manufacturing. GM should: Cut SKU’s. Standardize parts. Build faster, cheaper.

@GM Range is “Good enough” now. The next war is: Cost per kWh. If GM nails: LFP + LMR batteries. Domestic Production. They can underprice Tesla and crush the lower market.

@GM Needs: A $30 to 40K EV. 300+ mile range. Simple trims (not confusing packages.) Actually available on lots. The Chevy Bolt could be this - but only if: Scale it fast. Keep it cheap. Don’t overcomplicate it. One hit car> 10 average ones

@GM Insight to share: GM could benefit from expanding highbred offerings as a bridge strategy instead of going fully EV-only in the near term.

@GM NY crude almost $80 a barrel

@GM Morning! Dow futures down 180 right now. Brent up!!!!!

@GM Well crude still spiked! Shipping??! EV’s are here. Buy one. Home charging stations not that bad. ($$)

@business Oh! Support a battery tax!! - Frank @GM future Executive Chairman

@business Hi! Looking for coverage on tariffs and reimbursement and whatever else is going on with these tariff’s! Frank @GM (DRIP) mechanical designer - “No Charge” EV’s maybe someday; crude prices. And other stuff! Thanks.

@GM Also….. The future of EV’s looks bright: as battery technology improves and charging infrastructure expands, electric vehicles will become more affordable, practical, and essential for a sustainable transportation system. - Frank

@GM …. like a $1200 battery tax with market realities, including enduring oil prices. Frank McWalters Executive chairman
