General Motors (GM)

General Motors and Redwood Materials are joining forces to take EV battery tech beyond the road and onto the grid. The two companies just signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding that sets the stage for turning both new and second-life GM batteries into energy storage systems to support the US’s rising electricity demand.

GM is preparing to begin converting production lines at its battery plant in Tennessee later this year for low-cost LFP EV batteries. GM’s joint venture, Ultium Cells, announced additional upgrades at the facility on Monday as it prepares for a new era.

Cadillac claims to have already achieved “EV leader” status this year with a full lineup of luxury electric SUVs rolling out. Even with the federal EV tax credit set to end, GM’s luxury brand believes it’s well-positioned to weather the storm.

The Chevy Equinox EV, or “America’s most affordable 315+ range EV,” as GM calls it, is red-hot. Thanks to the electric Equinox, Chevy is solidifying its position as the fastest-growing EV brand in the US. The Chevy Equinox EV helped GM’s electric vehicle sales more than double in Q2, but there’s more to the story.

EV and renewable investments in the US are stalling – and May was another tough month. Businesses canceled $1.4 billion worth of clean energy factories and projects last month, according to the latest numbers from E2 and the Clean Economy Tracker. That pushes total canceled investments to $15.5 billion this year, wiping out nearly 12,000 potential jobs.

General Motors may be better known for its lineup of full-size trucks and SUVs, but a recently published patent shows the legacy automaker has at least considered something much smaller and nimbler: an electric motorcycle.

Like manual transmission shifting, the ability back a tow hitch under a trailer coupler seems to be a skill that younger generations have given up on – but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to haul their bikes, boats, or RVs out into the wilderness. Now, a new patent reveals GM’s plans to make hooking a trailer to your vehicle even easier, with a drone.

The next-gen Chevy Bolt is finally almost here. GM confirmed that production is on track to begin by the end of the year, but the company is saying to keep a lookout for another affordable EV coming soon. Here’s what we know about the mysterious new model so far.

Starting at under $35,000 with over 315 miles of range, Chevy’s electric SUV is proving to be a hit. The all-electric Equinox helped propel Chevy past Ford to become the fastest-growing EV brand in the US.

Another Cadillac EV has earned the iconic “V” badge. The 2026 Cadillac Optiq-V is a new entry-level sports electric vehicle (EV) with over 500 horsepower, sporty styling both inside and out, and additional upgrades. It’s also GM’s first vehicle with a built-in NACS port, unlocking access to Tesla Superchargers.

After its electric vehicle sales more than doubled in the first quarter, GM claims it’s now the “#1 EV seller” in Canada. With a full lineup of 13 all-electric vehicles, GM sold more EVs than Tesla in Canada.

If our recent post about Tesla alternatives taught us anything, it’s that there aren’t enough mainstream electric sedan options in North America. It doesn’t have to be this way. GM has a proper, five-passenger electric sedan on sale today – and maybe it really should be a new electric Chevy Impala.

GM’s luxury brand now has a full lineup of EVs, and it’s already starting to pay off. Cadillac’s EVs are quickly catching on with nearly 80% of buyers new to the brand, many of them Tesla drivers.

The 2025 Chevy Silverado EV already offers up to 492 miles of range, but GM promises to unlock even more at a lower cost. GM and LG Energy Solution unveiled the “first-ever” lithium manganese-rich (LMR) prismatic EV battery cells. The new battery cells will be used in upcoming GM EV models, especially trucks and SUVs.

GM announced that it has hired Sterling Anderson, who is known for being the early head of Tesla Autopilot and co-founder of self-driving startup Aurora.

Donald Trump signed two executive orders today that walked back parts of tariffs he previously imposed on US automakers ahead of a rally in Michigan to mark his first 100 days in office.

Dodge Charger. Ford Lightning. Some historic car names are just begging to be brought back as new-age electric vehicles, but the best one has always been the Buick Electra – and now, it’s back. Meet the all-new Buick ELECTRA GS concept.

Despite the will-they, won’t-they uncertainty surrounding the future of tariffs and union jobs and – let’s face it – just about everything else in every industry these days, GM continues to build its Ultium-based EVs in Mexico.

Update 22APR25: corrected the translation from Milenio.

A Unifor union rep at the Ontario production facility where GM builds the all electric Chevy BrightDrop van is temporarily halting production of the commercial EV due to slow sales – but with massive discounts, Costco member programs, and state and utility incentives driving costs well below its diesel competitors, it might still be the best EV deal you can get.

With new models rolling out from General Motors, Porsche, Honda, and several others, US EV sales increased by over 10% in the first three months of 2025. Nearly 300,000 EVs were sold in the first quarter of 2025. These were the top-selling models.

GM is ending production of the gas-powered Cadillac SUV XT6 sooner than expected, and a new luxury EV will replace it. The three-row electric SUV will be placed by a new luxury Cadillac EV at GM’s Spring Hill plant in Tennessee.
