General Motors sold 4,508 electric Hummer trucks and SUVs in the second quarter, nearly matching Ford's F-150 Lightning sales despite a substantial price difference.
GM experienced a strong quarter for electric vehicles with an uptick in U.S. EV sales compared to other automakers who saw declines, driven by sales of various EV models including Equinox SUVs, Silverado pickups, Blazer EVs, and more.
In contrast, Ford faced a 31% drop in U.S. EV sales in the second quarter, impacted by decreasing popularity of E-Transit vans and the F-150 Lightning, with total EV sales down by nearly 12% compared to last year.
The challenging environment for EV sales in the U.S. is further emphasized by drops in sales of EVs from other manufacturers like Hyundai and Kia, while Ford grapples with aging EV models amid the threat of tariffs affecting incentives.
