Common Motors experiences 691,978 car deliveries in the course of the second quarter of 2023 in the US, which is nineteen p.c greater than a yr in the past. The whole quantity to date this yr amounted to 1,295,186 (up 18 p.c year-over-year).
Then again, all-electric car gross sales in the course of the interval are disappointing – decrease than within the report first quarter and particularly restricted with regards to Ultium-based BEVs.
In Q2, the corporate delivered 15,652 BEVs (up 117 p.c year-over-year, from a comparatively sluggish Q2 2022), which can also be 2.3 p.c of the overall quantity.

With out the Bolts, GM would have only one,693 different BEV gross sales as a result of the Cadillac Lyriq ramp-up is sluggish, whereas the GMC Hummer EV Pickup is transferring backward. On the finish of Q1, we anticipated that the quantity will improve to some thousand items, earlier than transferring to a five-digit stage in Q3 and This autumn.
We listed all of the numbers for Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC manufacturers under, with hyperlinks to detailed experiences.
There’s an attention-grabbing distinction of 298 items between GM’s whole and the sum of Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC BEV gross sales, which makes us imagine that these is perhaps BrightDrop vans. Nonetheless, there was no distinction within the earlier quarters, so it is perhaps one thing else.
