Amid slowing demand for electric vehicles in the U.S., General Motors reported a 4.2% year-over-year decline in second-quarter sales. The drop was driven by weaker demand for its all-electric lineup and the Chevrolet Silverado pickup, according to a company statement reported by CNBC.
The decline comes despite a strong U.S. economy: gross domestic product grew 2.1% in the second quarter and personal spending rose 0.7% month-on-month (per market data released June 25). This suggests GM's sales weakness reflects sector-specific structural headwinds, particularly in the increasingly competitive EV space.
