“This entire electrification journey is, I say it takes a village but an ecosystem, right?

“They have the second-best-selling EV in the U.K., and EVs do well in the U.K. … Basically, they’re smashing it out of the park.” – Nick Gibbs, reporter covering the U.K. market for Automotive News Europe, on MG’s 100th anniversary and the iconic brand’s resurgence in various global markets
“Almost all of our energy as a company is going into scaling, figuring out how to set up new markets, crank up the volume of vehicles, get ready for the Origin, make sure all of our support systems handle that kind of volume. And so, our metrics and reporting have started to resemble that of a business operating at scale.” – Kyle Vogt, CEO of Cruise, who says GM’s robotaxi unit is on track for — if not ahead of — its goal to reach $1 billion in revenue by 2025
