General Motors CEO Mary Barra has never made any secret of her desire to surpass Tesla in electric car sales and become the global leader in this field. For context, the group includes, for example, Opel, GMC, Cadillac, and Chevrolet. Given the fact that more than 90% of the U.S. population is living within 10 miles of a GM dealership, a statistic the company often cites, GM's vice president of EV ecosystem Hoss Hassani said the company's extensive dealer program is helping to build further brand loyalty. The carmaker is now calling on its dealer network to help deploy up to 40,000 new charging stations across the United States.
