While GM has withdrawn most of its previously announced electric vehicle targets, the automaker believes its EV sales momentum is finally building thanks to an expanding lineup of all-electric vehicles — spanning a price range of roughly $35,000 to more than $300,000.
GM sold nearly 21,000 EVs in the U.S. in July and August — almost matching its full second-quarter EV sales.
GM’s EV sales through August were up about 70% compared with a year earlier.
It still remained more than 20,000 units shy of Hyundai/Kia EV sales through last month.
