The automaker sold fewer vehicles from April through June as electric vehicle sales declined 33% from a year earlier and Silverado pickup sales also weakened.

General Motors reported a second-quarter sales decline as weaker electric vehicle demand continued to weigh on the Detroit automaker’s broader vehicle lineup.
GM sold 714,896 vehicles from April through June, down 4.2% from the 746,588 vehicles it sold during the same quarter last year, according to figures cited by CNBC.
The company’s electric vehicle sales fell 33% compared with the second quarter of last year, marking a sharp reversal after EV sales surged in 2025 ahead of the Trump administration’s decision to end federal tax incentives for consumers buying new electric vehicles. Those incentives had been worth up to $7,500 per vehicle.
The decline reflects continued challenges for automakers that invested heavily in all-electric models while consumer demand has remained limited.
GM also reported weaker sales for one of its most important vehicle lines. Silverado pickup sales fell 7.7% during the quarter, including a nearly 26% decline for the electric version of the truck.
Despite the drop, GM said it expects to have gained market share in the full-size truck segment during the second quarter.
The second-quarter results show GM facing pressure in both its electric vehicle strategy and key pickup business, even as the company maintains that it remains competitive in the full-size truck market.
The company’s overall sales decline highlights the broader uncertainty surrounding EV demand after the end of federal purchase incentives and amid continued consumer hesitation toward fully electric models.
