GM Confirms Apple CarPlay for EVs—But Only Outside the US


GM says it "remains committed" to not offering CarPlay in U.S.-sold EVs, despite allowing it for Cadillac's electric SUVs in Australia.

GM has historically argued that the user experience for its EVs is better when drivers remain in its own software ecosystem, where features like navigation, range projections, and routing to chargers are all tied together, working off the same pool of information and vehicle data. The company also stands to make more money off owners forking over cash for monthly data subscriptions after their vehicle’s free trial period ends, of course, though executives don’t tend to lead with that point. Backed by a decade of covering cars and consumer tech, Adam Ismail is a Senior Editor at The Drive, focused on curating and producing the site’s slate of daily stories.
