General Motors (GM) and Honda Motor said Tuesday they will develop a series of low-cost electric vehicles on a new joint platform. The partners expect to outsell Tesla.

The automakers said the agreement focuses on “affordable” electric vehicles, including compact crossovers built using GM’s Ultium battery technology. According to the companies, compact crossovers are the most popular cars in the world. More than 13 million pieces are sold annually.

The companies did not name the amounts invested in the framework of the new cooperation.

The concept of “affordable” was revealed by GM CEO Mary Barra, who said the price would be below the $30,000 price tag planned for the Chevrolet Equinox electric SUV.

“We have a very important goal … by the middle of the decade, by 2025, we will be selling more electric vehicles in the US than anyone else, and for that you need to have a portfolio of models,” said Barra, noting that GM plans to produce a wide range of electric vehicles. “We can definitely scale and we can do it quickly.”

The companies said they will also discuss future collaborations on battery technologies for electric vehicles to reduce costs.

In China, an orgy of discounts on cars is raging.  Discounts reach 5000-6000 dollars, and somewhere they can give a whole car

Almost all major market players offer discounts. The Chery Tiggo 8 Plus, for example, is on sale for around $4,500, bringing the base version to just $14,000. BYD machines are on sale with discounts up to $3,000.

The premium brand Zeekr lures otherwise: the 001 electric car is offered 22-inch wheels and a Z-Sport exterior and interior package, which would cost $5,100 in total. The Changan Deepal sub-brand offers both discounts and gifts at once, for a total of approximately $6,400.

But one of the Toyota dealers did the most impressive. When you buy the bZ4X electric crossover at full price, you get a budget Toyota Vios sedan as a gift, which in itself costs almost $11,000!

The situation with huge discounts began to take shape since the beginning of the year, when Tesla cut the prices of their cars very much. The source adds that most of the discounts do not apply to the newest gasoline models, but, as we can see, there are exceptions.
