GM is committed to transitioning to all-electric vehicles by 2035, yet the company has simultaneously lobbied Congress to revoke California's ban on new gas car sales. This apparent contradiction comes as GM seeks to align emissions standards with current market conditions. With significant investments in EV infrastructure and battery production, GM remains a prominent player in the EV market, recently reporting a 94% increase in EV sales compared to last year. The company emphasized the need for a single national emissions standard to maintain competitiveness and consumer choice.
Four years ago, GM set an audacious goal: By 2035, the automaker planned to go all-electric. The company says it's still aiming for that target.
In a statement, the company said, 'GM appreciates Congress' action to align emissions standards with today's market realities. We have long advocated for one national standard that will allow us to stay competitive...'
GM CEO Mary Barra has said that the company believes in an all-electric future. The company, which began seriously investing in battery design in 2018, spent $11 billion on EV infrastructure between 2020 and 2024.
In the first quarter of this year, GM sold 31,887 EVs in the U.S., a 94% increase over its electric vehicle sales in the same period last year.
