GM Shelves New Chevy, Cadillac EVs After $10.9 Billion in Charges, Expands Gas Lineup

3 articles · Updated · CarBuzz · Jul 21

Summary

  • Zero new or updated Chevy and Cadillac EVs are now planned for the next few years, as GM pivots both brands back toward gasoline models.
  • Mary Barra said Cadillac will start rolling out next-generation ICE vehicles next spring, including the CT5, XT5 and three-row XT6, to be sold alongside existing electric SUVs.
  • Chevy’s current EV lineup stays on sale, but the Bolt will end production this year and be replaced in Kansas by a gas-powered crossover.
  • GM has booked $10.9 billion in EV-related charges since the second half of 2025, including $7.2 billion in cash impact, yet still raised full-year adjusted profit guidance to $14 billion-$16 billion.
  • The retreat leaves room for rivals as Hyundai and Toyota models are already outselling GM’s Equinox EV in some rankings and more new EV competition is coming.
