GM CEO Mary Barra on Wednesday had told the Trump administration that the automaker was studying how it could potentially support production of medical equipment like ventilators.

General Motors Chairman and CEO Mary Barra announces a $300 million investment in the GM Orion Assembly Plant plant for electric and self-driving vehicles at the Orion Assembly Plant on March 22, 2019 in Lake Orion, Michigan.

It is typically considered an unusual move for an automaker to show investors so many products. Since announcing plans to launch at least 20 new all-electric vehicles more than two years ago and committing to a "zero-emission" future, GM hasn't moved as quickly as some expected into all-electric vehicles. More than 150 members of the media and investors are expected to be briefed about the company's EV plans during separate events Wednesday.
