SAIC-GM

Buick has adjusted its plan as a new model, codenamed NDLB, nears production, deciding to add EREV options to its original BEV-only offerings, according to local media.

SAIC-GM and CATL have jointly launched an LFP battery that supports a 6C charging multiplier and can get more than 200 km of range on a 5-minute charge.

In the January-July period of this year, SAIC-GM sold 240,579 vehicles, down 55.14 percent from a year earlier.

EV owners of SAIC-GM's Cadillac and Buick brands will be able to use Nio's charging piles through their mobile apps.

SAIC-GM has become the first automaker in China to plug into Tesla's charging network, with Cadillac and Buick-branded models based on the Ultium platform getting access to some Tesla chargers.

The Electra E5, Buick's first electric model based on the Ultium platform, is a 5-seat SUV measuring 4,892 mm in length.

The partnership could involve the supply of tens of GWh of blade batteries.

The Lyriq opened for pre-sale in China on November 17 and is expected to be delivered in mid-2022.

The first available version of the Cadillac Lyriq in China is a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive, long-range one that is expected to be delivered in mid-2022.

The Cadillac Lyriq was launched in the US earlier this year with a starting price of $59,990.
