As some of its rivals shift their emphases to more options for internal combustion and hybrid-fuel vehicle options, General Motors continues to highlight the progress of its electrification program. Now, the automaker reported that its 32,000 electric vehicles sold during 3Q 2024, up 46% over 2Q and up 60% over 3Q 2023, making it the number two supplier of EVs in the U.S.
GM also noted it has sold more than 300,000 EVs in the U.S. since 2016, and more than 370,000 in North America.
Tesla remains the North American market’s top EV supplier, having sold a reported 5 million electric vehicles since 2008.
GM emphasized it has arrived at this accomplishment by offering multiple EV options across its family of brands including the Chevrolet Silverado, Blazer, and Equinox EVs, the GMC Hummer EV, and the Cadillac Lyriq.
The is also based on making EVs more affordable – which automakers and analysts alike have determined is a barrier to electric vehicles gaining more popularity among consumers.
The Chevrolet Equinox EV, for example, retails for around $30,000 in its basic package, one of the lowest-cost electric vehicles available.
“We’re doing more than building EVs,” according to GM. “We’re making it easier for more Americans to switch to EVs, expanding access to public charging and building new charger stalls in convenient locations across the country. We’re unlocking more convenience with home charging and ways to use your EV as a backup power solution.”
