General Motors China Restructuring: $5 Billion Loss
- General Motors faces exceedingly serious hurdles in China as sales slump forcing the company into uninterrupted losses.
- The major reason GM is floundering is the emerging local EV manufacturers, who have been heavily supported by government subsidies.
- More than one in every two vehicles sold in China in 2024 will be EVs, compounding GM's problem.
- GM's response to this has been a $5bn overhaul in operations in China, which includes reducing the company's vehicle lineup and focusing on EVs, hybrids, and high-end imports.
- Narrowing operations in line with pressures on the local EV market is what the new strategy of GM would involve and looks forward to a return to profitability in 2025 but with a smaller, sleeker operation.
- GM is now focused on having electric vehicles and producing affordable EV models, hybrids, and premium imports.
- Investors should factor in the current dilemma in China and the gradual move for electric vehicles to take center stage if considering investing in General Motors.
- GM's future success will depend on its ability to compete in the ever-evolving global EV market.
- The company is expected to outperform the market, but GM does not appear on that advice hence interest investors may look elsewhere for investment.

2025 BYD Dolphin review
- The BYD Dolphin is both unique and affordable, with a price point of around $50k it stacks up as one of the cheapest EVs in Australia. However, with its unique styling, it's not one for everyone. Moreover, its functionality, including its top of the range infotainment system and plenty of interior and storage space, makes it enjoyable to drive, especially in the city despite some ADAS issues on the open road. Roomy, it can hold two adults with a panoramic roof that makes the car feel even bigger and a 5-star ANCAP safety rating makes the BYD Dolphin appealing from all angles.
- The BYD Dolphin comes in two variants the Dynamic, priced at $36,890 and the Premium at $42,890. The Premium offers better performance and range with a 150kW/310Nm electric motor and 60.5kWh battery providing a 0-100km/h sprint time of 7.0 seconds and 427km of range under the WTLP cycle.
- While the BYD Dolphin stands out for its unique styling, it's interior is both colourful and pleasant to be in. And while the materials may be polarising, the Dolphin scores in terms of practicality, with a 12.8-inch rotating touchscreen infotainment system, six-way power driver’s seat, four-way power passenger’s seat, and USB-A and USB-C.
- The Dolphin is a hoot to zip around the suburbs with its E motor and gets full marks for its parking sensors with a combination of front and rear parking sensors and surround-view camera making it easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces.
- The BYD Dolphin has a 5-star ANCAP safety rating and comes with Autonomous emergency braking (AEB), Adaptive cruise control, Blind-spot monitoring, Lane-keep assist and surrounding airbags.
- The BYD Dolphin comes with a six-year, 150,000km vehicle warranty and an eight-year, 160,000km battery warranty. And while it may have the market advantage as an affordable EV, superior options are available such as the MG 4, which has been offered at a driveaway price of $32,990. Value consideration may persuade prospects considering its unique styling as well as the innovative ADAS issues on the open road.
- BYD sets trends with innovative, quirky designs and an affordable, practical vehicle lineup. The BYD Dolphin is worth the consider if you're looking for something different and fun to zip around in on the city streets.
