With the Super Bowl just three days out, the advertisement spots for one of the most watched sporting events are filling up fast. What is interesting to note is that these 30 second slots are extremely expensive and can cost upto $6-7 million.
General Motors and Netflix have released their Super Bowl advertisement days before the action commences on the 12th of February. It will feature comic actor Will Ferrell in a 60 second ad with the title “Why not an EV?”.
The American streaming platform Netflix has vowed to showcase atleast one electric vehicle in it’s shows going forward in a bid to contribute to a greener and more sustainable world.

From there onwards he’s seen in the Cadillac Lyriq in ‘Bridgerton’ and then ends up inside the world of ‘Stranger Things’ with a Chevy Silverado EV.
