GM building electric motors for new Spark EV in U.S.

Until now, electric motors and drive units have been mostly imported, but GM won government funding to help build the motors at its Baltimore Operations plant in White Marsh.

 

"The era of using electricity to help improve performance and fuel economy is already here and the trend is only going to grow," said Mike Robinson, GM vice president of sustainability. "Today is further proof GM is leading in the development of electric vehicles that will improve America's energy security."
