GM Korea will roll out 10 electric vehicle (EV) models in Korea by 2025, in a bid to broaden consumer choices and strengthen its market presence here, the automaker's CEO said Wednesday. This is part of its U.S. head office's plan to invest $35 billion (41.3 trillion won) to roll out 30 EVs by 2025.

The envisioned new EVs will meet the needs of drivers with varying lifestyles and budgetary constraints, with models ranging from entry-level to SUVs and luxury models.

"GM Korea will pursue an EV market growth strategy in line with GM's EV market portfolio to expand customer options and experiences," CEO Kaher Kazem said during an online press conference at The-K Hotel in Seoul.
