General Motors is going to be scaling back production<\/a> of the Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq, as well as the Chevy Bolt EV as it expects sales of electric vehicles to slow dramatically. The $7,500 consumer tax credit<\/a> for purchasing a new EV is set to expire at the end of the month. That credit has been crucial to driving demand for EVs, which are still more expensive than their gas-powered counterparts.<\/p>\n

The company is pausing production on the Lyriq and Vistiq at its Spring Hill, Tennessee plant in December. It\u2019s also planning to halt manufacturing for a week in November and October, as well as slow production during the first five months of 2026 by temporarily laying off one of its shifts of workers. Similarly, it\u2019s indefinitely delaying the start of a second shift at a plant near Kansas City, which is supposed to begin producing the Chevy Bolt EV later this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While EV sales have struggled to meet expectations, they have improved over time. GM even announced that August was its best month on record for EV sales<\/a>. But in the same press release it was quick to note that it was unsure what the future would hold<\/a>. \u201cWe will almost certainly see a smaller EV market for a while, and we won\u2019t overproduce,\u201d the company\u2019s Senior Vice President and President, North America, Duncan Aldred, wrote.<\/p>\n

Back in May, transportation editor Andrew J. Hawkins said<\/a>, \u201cthe US was already woefully behind China and other developed nations in terms of clean energy investments. And now it\u2019s likely to fall even further behind, perhaps permanently so.\u201d When the largest American automaker is aggressively slashing EV production, even as sales surge, it\u2019s hard to see how the US can catch up.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
