This accomplishment solidifies GM's position as the second-largest EV seller in the country for the third quarter of 2024.

General Motors (GM) recently achieved a significant milestone by surpassing 300,000 electric vehicles (EVs) sold in the U.S. since 2016. This accomplishment solidifies GM’s position as the second-largest EV seller in the country for the third quarter of 2024. With over 370,000 EVs sold across North America, GM is making considerable progress in the electric vehicle market. This landmark comes as GM continues to expand its EV lineup, offering a diverse range of options to meet the needs of various drivers.

GM’s latest success is reflected in its impressive third-quarter sales, where the company delivered over 32,000 all-electric vehicles in the U.S. This marks a remarkable 46% increase compared to the previous quarter and a 60% improvement year-over-year. Additionally, this surge in sales demonstrates that GM’s strategy to offer a wide array of EVs resonates with consumers, further helping facilitate the transition to electric mobility.

The automaker offers a diverse range of EVs to cater to various preferences and needs.

They also provide the affordable, family-friendly Chevy Equinox EV. GM is committed to making the transition to EVs accessible to all drivers by offering vehicles that suit different lifestyles and budgets.

Beyond vehicle production, GM is taking steps to enhance the EV experience for consumers. The company is expanding access to public charging infrastructure and adding new charging stations in convenient locations nationwide. GM also prioritizes home charging solutions, enabling customers to use their EVs as backup power sources. This commitment to convenience reflects GM’s broader strategy of promoting electric vehicle adoption and addressing consumer concerns about charging availability.

GM’s dedication to advancing EV technology is a testament to its decades of research, engineering, and design efforts. The company continues to improve its gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles while ramping up EV production. Upcoming models, such as Cadillac’s OPTIQ and ESCALADE IQ, are on the horizon, ensuring that customers who choose to transition to all-electric vehicles will have exciting and innovative options.

With the sale of over 300,000 EVs in the U.S., GM is poised to celebrate future milestones and further solidify its role in the evolving automotive landscape.
