GM brings in a ringer to help with its EV battery problems.
Kevin Kelty was the former battery tech chief at Tesla during the infamous “production hell” Model 3 ramp. He’ll take the role of Vice President of Batteries and will report directly to GM President Mark Reuss. He worked at Tesla for 11 years and Panasonic for 15 years, so safe to say that if he can’t help GM get its stuff together, no one can.
The company has run in numerous hurdles scaling up its EV and battery making operation, including recalls and persistent delays related to automation on its Ultium assembly line. Suffice to say, Kelty will have his work cut out for him.
