GM halts next-gen EV truck program at Factory Zero, report says

GM spokesman Kevin Kelly issued a statement to Detroit Free Press with no details of any potential plans or timing for next-gen battery trucks.

The company added it is intended to start production of refreshed versions of the GMC, Chevrolet Silverado, Escalade IQ and Hummer SUV and pickup in 2028.

GM centralized most of its EV production at Factory Zero last year amid production changes in order to meet smaller-than-anticipated consumer demand.

For context, General Motors’ public commitment to sell only EVs by 2035 was introduced during President Donald Trump’s first term, at a time when climate regulations were tightening.

The company has largely scrapped the plan for now.
