The auto manufacturer said in a filing earlier this month that supply chain issues will put pressure on its second quarter earnings, though it maintained its previous guidance for 2022. GM has roughly 95,000 manufactured vehicles in its inventory that are missing certain components as of June 30, according to the filing.
Despite the supply chain snafus hindering the company, Barra said that GM plans to ramp up its EV production.
"The Hummer, we're out a couple years. We're looking at increased production in the latter part of this year for the Hummer truck," she said.

GM announced Thursday that it is building a network of electric vehicle chargers in a partnership with Pilot Co. and EVgo, with a sizable amount expected to be in operation by the end of next year.
