General Motors appears to lead the electric vehicle transition among legacy automakers, ranking second in EV sales after Tesla in Q1. The company is expanding its electric model lineup and advancing battery technology. However, GM is advocating against California's 2035 all-electric vehicle mandate, asserting that such emissions standards threaten consumer choice and affordability. While GM aims to halt sales of gas-powered vehicles by 2035 and supported California's previous goals, it now pushes for more flexible national regulations amid competitive market pressures.
"We need your help!", reads the email GM sent to thousands of its non-hourly employees last week. "Emissions standards that are not aligned with market realities pose a serious threat..."
GM set its own internal goal of ending sales of nearly all gas-only vehicles by 2035 and initially supported the California target, while advocating for a uniform national standard.
