GM Achieves Record EV Sales While Expanding US Manufacturing Investment

Record-Breaking EV Performance and Market Leadership

General Motors has achieved a new monthly peak in electric vehicle sales this August, with particularly strong demand for the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV. The company sold more than 21,000 EVs across its Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC brands, maintaining its position as the second-largest EV seller in the market.

Significant Manufacturing Investment

GM has unveiled plans to invest approximately $4 billion in its domestic manufacturing facilities over the next two years, aiming to boost both gas and electric vehicle production. This investment will enable GM to produce more than two million vehicles annually in the United States.

Strong Financial Performance

The company’s overall performance has been robust, with U.S. sales increasing 7% in the second quarter and 12% in the first half of 2025. GM has established itself as the leader in both total and retail sales in the U.S. automotive industry for the first six months of the year, outpacing the estimated 4% total industry growth.

Future Outlook and Challenges

The industry faces some uncertainty as EV tax credits are set to expire on September 30, with expectations of lower EV sales in the following quarter as the market adjusts. However, GM continues to drive transportation innovation, leveraging advanced technology to produce safer, smarter, and lower emission vehicles across its brands, while maintaining its commitment to an all-electric future.

Looking ahead, GM’s manufacturing expansion includes plans for its Orion Assembly plant to begin production of gas-powered full-size SUVs and light-duty pickup trucks in early 2027, while Factory ZERO in Detroit-Hamtramck will focus on electric vehicles including the Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, and Cadillac ESCALADE IQ.
