Overview
- Industry reports Tuesday said GM told suppliers it halted the 2028 redesign of its full‑size electric trucks and SUVs with no new timetable.
- GM said it has not canceled any electric trucks and has not disclosed timing for next‑generation models, while current versions remain in production.
- The company is exploring plug‑in‑hybrid and range‑extended setups that use a small engine to charge the battery, and it is shifting more development to a new gasoline truck platform.
- Sales remain low, with Q1 deliveries at roughly 1,400 Silverado EVs, 1,300 Sierra EVs, 1,600 Hummer EVs, and 2,000 Escalade IQs after the federal $7,500 EV credit ended last September.
- GM’s Factory Zero has faced repeated idling and temporary layoffs, and supplier executives now expect next‑gen full‑size EVs to slip to 2030 or later.
