When GM announced its new fourth-generation EV platform on Wednesday, what the automaker didn’t share was almost as notable as what it did.
The new EV platform, part of a series of technology-focused announced during its annual GM Forward event in New York, didn’t talk about suspension geometries, dash-to-axle ratios, and torsional rigidity, all nerdy automotive terms that translate to how people will experience a car. Is it supple or sporty? Does it have a refined stance? When it hits a pothole, does it feel like a bank vault or a paper plate?
