GM's Mary Barra: Electric car commitment will now play out 'over decades'

General Motors CEO Mary Barra says the storied automaker's plan to turn its fleet 100% electric will now play out 'over decades.' In an exclusive interview with NBC News correspondent Tom Costello, Barra clarified the company's previously stated intention to eventually phase out gas-powered cars. 'I wouldn’t say we’re recommitting,' Barra said of the company's pledge, first announced more than six years ago.

Kelley Blue Book data reported by Cox showed about 1 out of every 6 Cadillac purchases is an electric vehicle — the most of any brand not focused entirely on EVs. Cadillac was also one of nine manufacturers that recorded more than 50% year-on-year growth in EV sales. It's indicative of the current trend in the electric vehicle market: They are becoming more popular at the higher end.
