General Motors is reshaping its supply chains to secure critical materials for electric vehicle production, moving from raw mining to manufacturing key components like magnets and motors in-house. The automaker is investing in vertical integration to reduce reliance on external suppliers and strengthen its long-term competitiveness in the EV market. By controlling more stages of production—from sourcing rare earth materials to assembling electric drivetrains—GM aims to mitigate risks tied to global supply chain disruptions. The strategy reflects a broader industry shift toward self-sufficiency as demand for electric vehicles surges.
