Factbox-U.S. automakers line up EV models to take on Tesla By Reuters

(Reuters) – The demand for electric vehicles pushed U.S. automakers last year to unveil plans to spend billions of dollars to electrify gasoline models or introduce electric cars and trucks in a bid to catch up with market leader Tesla (NASDAQ:) Inc.

General Motors Co (NYSE:) and Ford Motor (NYSE:) Co are among those leading the chase. Last week, Ford’s market value rose above GM for the first time in five years in a sign of increasing investor confidence in its electrification strategy.
