In the US, for some weird reason, they mock GM's EV transition. It may be to do with the fact GM once produced an EV called the EV One. The vehicle was popular. However, GM, it was felt, sabotaged this vehicle (it's own vehicle) because GM did not really want Electrification of cars to succeed. You see, GM had been compelled by the US clean air act of that era, to produce that EV One. GM was reluctant and wanted to continue to manufacture its fuel cars and trucks.

Anyway, that was then. Today, GM and other manufacturers are attempting to transition into EVs. Tesla leads the revolution in addition to a slew of Chinese vehicles manufactures such as BYD, NEO, Geely etc. GM was a laughing stock but now thire portfolio is rapidly increasing. The vehicle featured in the video above is called the Opiq and marks a return to the European market by GM.
