## Resource

GM and Ford are boldly reinventing themselves beyond cars, betting big on military contracts and energy storage to fuel future growth. With EV demand slowing, they’re repurposing battery tech for homes, grids, and data centers — and leveraging their manufacturing muscle to supply the Pentagon. GM’s defense division is already rolling out billion-dollar infantry vehicle deals, while Ford is converting a Kentucky plant to make storage units by 2027. This isn’t about overnight riches — it’s about strategic resilience in a shifting auto landscape, turning past investments into new revenue streams.
