General Motors (GM) has made significant strides in the electric vehicle (EV) market, securing its position as the second-largest seller of EVs in the United States. Bolstered by a diverse lineup of 13 EVs under the Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC brands, GM has reported over 62,000 EVs sold in the U.S. so far this year.
Chevrolet emerged as the fastest-growing domestic EV brand in the first quarter of 2025, outpacing Ford in EV sales. With over 37,000 EVs sold by Chevrolet compared to Ford’s 34,000 through May, GM’s market performance is poised for further growth as it gears up to announce its second-quarter sales figures on July 1.
GM’s EV portfolio features a range of offerings, including full-size trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, and GMC HUMMER EV, along with luxury SUVs such as the Cadillac Escalade IQ and the budget-friendly Chevrolet Equinox EV. The company’s strong performance in May, marking the second-best month for EV sales in its history, reflects a remarkable 94% year-over-year growth in the first quarter.
Rory Harvey, GM’s executive VP and president of global markets, expressed satisfaction with the customer response to their extensive range of electric and gas-powered vehicles. In the initial months of the second quarter, GM witnessed a doubling of its EV sales compared to the same period last year, indicating a growing market share that is nearing the company’s overall national market presence of 17%.
GM’s commitment to enhancing the EV infrastructure is evident through initiatives like providing access to over 250,000 public chargers across North America. Collaborations with industry partners, such as Pilot Company and EVgo Inc., have resulted in the establishment of fast-charging infrastructure at more than 130 locations spanning over 25 states, facilitating convenient charging options for GM drivers.
Furthermore, GM’s involvement in Ionna, a joint venture with seven other automakers, underscores its dedication to expanding the charging network in the U.S. The venture aims to introduce 30,000 charging bays by 2030, aligning with the broader industry trend towards enhancing EV infrastructure to support the growing demand for electric vehicles in the market.
