We are committed to a future electric vehicle portfolio that will be profitable, Barra said.

General Motors Co plans to launch a new family of electric vehicles in 2021 that will cost less to build and make a profit for the US number one automaker, chief executive Mary Barra told investors on Wednesday.

Her plans represent a direct challenge to money-losing electric vehicle specialist Tesla Inc, which is struggling to get its more affordable, high-volume Model 3 launched and recently reported its largest-ever quarterly loss.
