At Detroit auto show, spotlight dims for EVs
U.S. EV sales grew just 1% in 2025 as automakers face billions in electrification losses and shift focus to hybrids and gas vehicles amid policy changes and global competition.
- On Jan. 17 the North American International Auto Show opens at Huntington Place for a nine-day public run, with both indoor demonstration tracks open to hybrids and gas vehicles this year.
- Following federal rollbacks on EV rules and incentives, the Trump administration revoked a Biden-era EV sales target, cut tax incentives worth up to $7,500, and Ford Motor Co. and General Motors announced multibillion-dollar EV-related charges.
- Benchmark Mineral Intelligence data show U.S. electrified-car sales grew just 1% last year with pure-EV market share just under 8%, while the show highlights interactive attractions like Camp Jeep and Corvette displays.
- Industry experts warned the EV pullback risks U.S. automakers' competitiveness as China electrifies, while Todd Szott, chairman of this year’s event and an auto dealer, said the show reflects consumer trends.
- Looking beyond the show floor, China and Europe posted stronger plug-in and electric vehicle growth last year, with China up 17% and Europe up 33%, while Trump touted policies aiding U.S. automakers.
