It was only a matter of time (emphasis mine).

 General Motors said Tuesday it is again slowing its plans for all-electric vehicles by further delaying a second U.S. electric truck plant and the Buick brand’s first EV.

The six-month delay in retooling the electric truck plant in Michigan, until mid-2026, also means GM will not achieve a prior target of having North American production capacity of 1 million EVs by 2025.

However, CNBC reveals GM CEO Mary Ibarra had some interesting hints too (emphasis mine).

…The changes add new questions about the Detroit automaker’s plans for future battery cell plants other than two current joint venture facilities with LG Energy Solution in North America. GM previously announced plans for four of the multibillion-dollar plants in the U.S. by 2026.

Barra on Tuesday said the company would grow cell production in a “meaningful cadence.”

Meaning that will make the company’s battery production contingent on consumer demand. CNBC also points out:

GM’s U.S. EV deliveries increased 40% during the second quarter compared with a year earlier to 21,930 units. Still, EVs made up only 3.2% of its total second-quarter U.S. sales.

Meaning the demand for EV’s is not there. What’s more, a further indication of GM’s decision could be the result of a recent move by an announcement Ford made last week with one of their EV plants in Canada (emphasis mine).

Ford Motor will expand production of its large Super Duty trucks to a Canadian plant that was previously set to be converted into an all-electric vehicle hub.

The new plans include investing about $3 billion to expand Super Duty production, including $2.3 billion at Ford’s Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario, Canada, Ford said Thursday. The remaining investment will be used to increase production at supporting facilities in the U.S. and Canada, the company said.

Ford currently produces Super Duty trucks – the larger siblings of the F-150 full-size pickup used largely by commercial and business customers – at plants in Ohio and Kentucky.

Ford said the Canadian plant, which is expected to come online in 2026, will add capacity of roughly 100,000 units annually.

Both automobile manufacturers are now shifting to fossil fuel-powered vehicles to make money rather than make cars and trucks based on planner’s fantasies. Unfortunately, if Kamala Harris is elected in November, a lot more non-EV automobile manufacturing may end up outside the United States.

Harris recently announced that she intends to be more aggressive with Biden’s EV mandate. Consequently, the Net Zero unicorn fantasies of the Left will be enhanced under a Harris administration and that is one of many reasons why Donald Trump must win in November.
