This paper traces the efforts by General Motors in the area of electric and hybrid propulsion systems. Propulsion systems developed for different vehicles are described and performance achieved is presented. The present activities to commercialize the electric vehicles are briefly examined. The paper concludes with recommendations of technologies to be applied in propulsion systems to bring the performance of the electric vehicles to the state that is viable for mass acceptance.
