LORDSTOWN, Ohio - General Motors unveils its new Chevy Silverado electric truck while highlighting the company's plans for building more EVs.

GM will invest $35 billion in election and autonomous vehicles by 2025, powering the automaker's plans to launch more than 30 electric vehicles globally.

The Ultium Cells plant in Lordstown is a key element in lowering costs for consumers to offer options for all price levels.

"Two of our battery plants are already under construction today in Ohio and Tennessee," Mary Barra said, General Motors CEO. "Two more U.S. based plants are also being planned as we build the scale that will enable us to lower the cost of EVs to make them accessible to everyone."

The company has not yet announced where its third and fourth battery plants will be built. GM wants to become carbon neutral by 2040.

The Silverado was presented during a live stream address by Barra during the Consumer Electronics Show Wednesday. It boasts an ultium battery platform, a four-wheel steer chassis and has an estimated travel range of about 400 miles on a full charge.

General Motors is beginning to take reservations for its best selling pickup truck, which should be available by mid year.

The Silverado is just the start for its larger EVs. Barra announced that GM will not only build light weight, but also heavy duty vehicles as electric vehicles by 2035.

"These all electric HD trucks will be engineered to deliver effortless and heavy duty towing, while offering customers amazing new features and a range to get the toughest jobs done," she said.

The U.S. automaker's goal is to become carbon neutral. Barra says they want to power all of their U.S. facilities with renewable energy by 2025 and all facilities around the globe by 2035.

General Motors is also trying to diversify its portfolio, with partnerships where it can offer its ultium technology to other sectors.

Barra says the automaker is collaborating with Hydrotec to provide similar ultium technology to Wabtec Corporation for its railway systems and its working on a similar project with french company Liebherr in developing auxiliary power for its aircraft. Barra says this is just the beginning and progress is being made.
