Sales of every single EV from General Motors fell last quarter. In Q3, Chevrolet Equinox EV sales were down 92.4% compared to last year. Cadillac, GMC, and Chevrolet have all reported significant EV sales declines. Newly released sales data from General Motors shows demand for its EVs has fallen off a cliff in the United States, contributing to a company-wide sales decline across the third quarter and through the first nine months of this year. It’s no secret that EV sales in the US have dropped since the Trump administration axed the $7,500 federal tax credit last September. However, we suspect even GM couldn’t have anticipated just how far sales would decline.
