GM is beating EV rivals by giving buyers more choices at lower prices

GM’s electric vehicle sales nearly doubled in the first three months of the year, with impressive growth across all brands. Chevy is now the fastest-growing EV brand in the US, with the electric Equinox and Blazer rolling out, while Cadillac is quickly making a comeback in the luxury segment. Even GMC just had its best first quarter ever. With the broadest selection of models in the industry, GM continues outpacing EV rivals.

Here’s how GM is outpacing EV rivals in the US

After all four of its brands notched double-digit growth in the first quarter, GM led the US auto industry in total, retail, and fleet sales.

GM sold 693,363 vehicles in the first three months of 2025, 17% more than last year. According to Rory Harvey, GM’s president of global markets, the company outpaced every other major automaker, “and the driving force is our portfolio.”

With the “broadest portfolio of EVs in the industry,” GM is emerging as a real EV competitor in the US. GM’s electric vehicle sales nearly doubled (+94%) in the US with 31,887 EVs sold in Q1.

Chevy is now the fastest-growing EV brand in the US, led by the new electric Equinox, Blazer, and Silverado. In Q1, GM sold 10,329 Chevy Equinox, 6,187 Blazer, and 2,383 Silverado EVs.

Starting at $34,995, GM calls the Chevy Equinox EV “America’s most affordable 315+ miles range EV.” The 2025 Equinox EV LT FWD has an EPA-estimated range of up to 319 miles.

Cadillac had its best first quarter since 2008, with retail sales up 21%. Although Lyriq sales slipped 26% to 4,300, the luxury brand delivered the first Optiq (1,716) models, Cadillac’s most affordable EV, during the quarter. GM’s luxury brand had its best retail market share since 2014.

GMC had its best first quarter, with EV sales surging by 183%. The Hummer EV, including the pickup and SUV versions, saw higher demand, with sales doubling to nearly 3,500. The new GMC Sierra EV contributed another 1,249 to the total. With the 2026 Sierra EV starting at $25,000 less, GMC is poised to see even more demand.

Thanks to its wide selection of electric SUVs, pickups, and luxury models, GM expects to remain the second-largest seller of EVs in the US after Tesla.

GM will round out its portfolio with the next-gen Chevy Bolt EV, which is expected to arrive later this year or in early 2026.
