General Motors and its dealers saw a 3% year-over-year increase in retail sales in the U.S. during the third quarter of 2024, delivering 659,601 vehicles in total. While total deliveries were down 2% compared to the same period last year, GM posted another record-breaking quarter for electric vehicle (EV) sales.
The automaker delivered 32,195 EVs in Q3, marking a 60% year-over-year increase and a 46% rise from Q2 2024. According to Rory Harvey, GM’s executive vice president and president of Global Markets, the rapid growth in EV sales stems from GM’s diverse electric portfolio, offering vehicles tailored to various customer preferences.
“GM’s EV portfolio is growing faster than the market because we have an all-electric vehicle for just about everybody, no matter what they like to drive,” Harvey stated.
This surge in EV sales is positioning GM as a major player in the electric vehicle market as the company continues to invest in the future of sustainable mobility.
