A reporter from TechCrunch visited GM. His name is Tim De Chant. He wrote a story about the plan. The newsletter is TechCrunch Mobility. People signed up for free. The newsletter had news about transportation. The newsletter also had a poll about the Ferrari Luce EV. The poll asked people if they loved, hated, or were indifferent to the car. Most people were indifferent. Some people loved it. Some people hated it. GM wanted to sell more electric cars. The new battery center was important for this. The plan was big and cost a lot of money. But GM thought it was a good plan. The new batteries will help GM make cheaper electric cars.
