US EditionGM Wants To Sell You Gas Guzzlers
MICHIGAN, UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – GM is investing $4 billion to produce gas-powered trucks at Orion Assembly starting in 2027 due to weaker EV demand and the removal of electric vehicle tax credits, while Ford targets non-electric European markets.
- General Motors plans to start manufacturing the Cadillac Escalade along with its Chevrolet and GMC full-size light-duty pickup trucks at the Orion Assembly plant beginning in early 2027.
- GM shifted focus from an EV production facility in Orion Township to expanding gas-powered truck production due to slower EV market growth and removal of tax credits.
- GM is dedicating $4 billion to increase the manufacturing of gas-powered vehicles in Michigan, Kansas, and Tennessee, aiming to meet customer needs and circumvent tariffs.
- EV market share stalled at 6.9%, with growth dropping to 14.2% over the past year, and the federal EV tax credit will be eliminated by September 30, 2025.
- This pivot suggests GM prioritizes internal combustion trucks amid expected EV demand declines, while it might explore hybrid vehicles to address environmental goals.

Great Motoring Disasters: Chevrolet Volt
The Chevrolet Volt promised a revolution. A revolution of propulsion, of design and for a newly-adventurous General Motors itself. Sadly, it failed to sell in significant numbers. Yet there is little wrong with the Volt, and a lot that is right. And yes, genuinely revolutionary.
