GM simply dropped its large Tremendous Bowl advert, and it’s one. Will Ferrell, Kenan Thompson and Awkwafina all star within the 90-second advert titled “No Approach, Norway.”
The purpose of the advert is to get People overrated in regards to the upcoming electrical car vary on its manner from GM. Each the Cadillac Lyriq and GMC Hummer EV star all through, nevertheless it’s much less in regards to the autos, and extra about altering attitudes about EVs normally.
Ferrell comes after Norway aggressively, however in a playful and aggressive manner about what number of electrical automobiles promote within the Scandinavian nation. Over half of all new automobile gross sales in Norway are of EVs, whereas GM’s knowledge present that simply 4% of recent automobiles offered within the U.S. are electrical. Large monetary incentives from the Norwegian authorities can take a lot of the credit score for why EVs promote at such excessive charges over there. Nonetheless, GM thinks it will possibly nonetheless rally the U.S. to get extra enthusiastic about shopping for EVs as soon as its fleet of automobiles utilizing the corporate’s Ultium battery tech comes on-line.
The advert is completed with traditional Ferrell comedy, and it positive did elicit some chuckles from us. It additionally follows the identical “Everyone In” philosophy that GM introduced again when it modified up the brand a short while in the past. GM is inviting of us to strap in for the onslaught of EVs coming their manner (for now, you should purchase a Bolt). President Biden’s administration has voiced assist for a variety of insurance policies and actions to take for higher adoption of electrical automobiles within the U.S. — we additionally know the federal authorities intends to transition its full fleet of autos to EVs. It is nonetheless unlikely that we make it to Norway’s charge of electrical automobile gross sales within the speedy future, however the U.S. may definitely start to shut the hole.
