General Motors Launches EV Live: Free Virtual Education Service With Experts For EV Enthusiasts

JAKARTA - The multinational automotive company General Motors Company or known as GM introduced EV Live, a program to broaden the knowledge of electric car enthusiasts.

According to data from Cox Automotive, new US EV sales rose 13% to 196,788 units, between April and June 2022. However, according to a Consumer Reports survey, lack of education around battery-electric cars, trucks and SUVs remains a barrier to adoption.

Therefore, EV Live is expected to be able to connect buyers with EV specialists directly through a digital platform. The public can call to inquire about EV-related matters that they want to know directly from a specialist.

GM also hopes to accelerate EV adoption and create a larger market for its new battery-electric models, including the recently launched Chevrolet Blazer SS.
