With the early death of the EV tax credit, which appeared only a few weeks since September 30, General Motors is one of the American cars who celebrate the sale of EV at the last minute. Celebration is most likely to dissolve into tears that come Ocotuber. However, GM explained that EVs are here to stay, and the head of North America’s operations just explained, as they expect in the upcoming weather story.

GM is still automaker No. 2 in US sales EV

GM has enjoyed great entertainment with the state of the seller 2 in the USA, ending with only the leader of the Longtrime Tesla industry, over the last few years. The entertainment continued until August, when GM added numbers for a total sale of 21,000 EV from its branches Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC.

“August was our best month for sale EV-and we are hanging out that we are buying long-term dividends,” remarks Duncan Alloud, senior vice president and President GM North America.

“GM remains the EV #2 dealer, led by a strong demand for vehiky, such as Chevrolet Equinox EV, Cadillac Lyriq and GMC Sierra EV,” he added in the article published on the website 2 September.

Sale EV: How did it start …

In the same post, Allied has abandoned the indication of why the company is convinced in the long -term inertial power of the EV market, with quoting the stunning commitment of “EV customers” to technology. This is a shortcut for superrys that show that most EV drivers will stick to EV for their next vehicle.

A little strangely no one other than Shell has recently monitored EV drivers in Europe, the USA and China. “Signaling a strong obligation to transition towards electrical mobility, nine out of ten (91%) EV (EV batteries and plug-in hybrid EV) would consider other EVOs to be their next vehicle,” Shell is not.

Alloud also took note of the GM record of the manufacturer’s loyalty and turned the likelihood that anyone who buys from GM will return to GM until they need another vehicle next time. This is not just GM’s opinion. In February, the company issued its back to win the highest total price for the loyalty manufacturer by S&P Global Mobility for the 10th year in 2024.

“For decades, if you are driving a GM vehicle, it is more likely that you will stick to our brands than to go to a competitor when you buy another ride,” GM pointed out.

… How is it going

This is all right and good, but the loss of federal tax credit of $ 7,500 will stab. In the same blog post, Aldred confirmed that GM reduces EV production in anticipation of a short -term decline in EV sales after September 30.

But Duncan also stressed that GM intended to set off a storm. It notes that the company has seen its sale EVA on the rise before the tax credit cam as the provisions of the Inflation 2022 Act, which attributes GM to the availability of the EV market as a luxury end. The company is the same, the company expresses that these categories will continue sales, through the top EV Cadillac of the company together with Equinox Chevrolet and the upcoming rebirth of the affordable Cheva Bolt.

If everything goes according to plan, Duncan is also expecting more and more sales from Chevrolet, GMC and Hummer, which Hummer and SUV. That remains to be seen, but GM also plays a trump card to say. If more people do not want to buy more EV in the coming months, it’s fine with GM.

“When we adapt to the new reality on the EV market, the strength of our ICE portfolio will continue to separate our brands from the pack and give us the flexibility and profitability that companies only lack,” Duncan notes. Hmm … Who’s the reference?

GM smells blood in sales water EV

Duncan’s comments on companies only for EV seems to be a direct main at startups on a small scale, but Tesla also comes for his share of ribbing.

“Meanwhile, we see that marginal competitors dramatically modify their products and plans that should end a large part of the overproductive and irrational discounts we have seen on the market,” Allied wrote most likely referring to Tesla’s debacle Cybertruck.

The discount trend in Tesla emerged last year when signs of weakness began to appear on the company’s sale. The discounts continued this year when sales began to slip from the cliff.

Yet GM and other car cars have long hills to climb if they sometimes catch up for sale EV. Despite the permanent crisis of Tesla’s reputation, the company still accountant for almost 50% of all EV sales in the US in the quarter of this year.

“With nearly 144,000 sales, Tesla had more than four times as many sales than #2 Chevrolet,” Cleantechnica Editor Zachary Shahan watched August 31 and added that “Ford and Hyundai are in a tight race for #3, with 5.5% and 5.3% in the US EV market.”

Next steps for the US market EV

The optimistic outlook of the GM on the strength of the long -term EV sales is somewhat mitigated by the apparent platite interest in the general public to buy cars.

“The share of EV in the total US automotive market fell to 7.4% in the second quarter, a year compared to the year of 8.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024, and also by a quarter of 7.6% in Q1 2025… 7.4% EV in the market is that Q1 2024 Whar’s share was 7.2%,” Cleantechnica Recorded 1 September.

This follows the above survey of the shell. Unlike the high number of EV drivers who are looking forward to the next purchase of EV, Shell found that more ice drivers were less inclined to try EV.

Permanent gaps in public availability EV and shortcomings in experience with public billing can look at the blame. GM sees how obstacles melt.

“By the end of the year, our customers will have access to more than 65,000 fast bays across the country. We expect it to grow to more than 80,000 by the end of next year and by the end of 2027-more than 50% improvement in just three years,” wrote Evgo and Ionna fast charging networks.

With the availability of the GM mind, it also expects that new cheap LFP batteries (lithium iron) maintain their long -term EV sales profile, without long pungent winds of federal electrification policy. After all, technology does not go anywhere, but American presidents come and leave every 4-8 years. Meanwhile GM has existed since 1908. Just say …
