GM Expects to Turn Profit on Electric Vehicles by 2025

Despite current losses on each EV sold, GM plans to improve manufacturing and reduce costs to achieve profitability.

  • General Motors (GM) is currently losing money on every electric vehicle it sells, but expects to generate mid single-digit pretax profit margins by 2025.
  • The company has faced challenges in ramping up electric vehicle manufacturing, particularly with machinery at its Ultium Cells battery plant in Ohio.
  • GM's guidance of mid single-digit profit margins in two years is slightly better than previous estimates, and includes benefits from U.S. government clean energy tax credits.
  • Despite a slowdown in the rate of electric vehicle sales growth in the U.S., GM plans to build factory capacity to manufacture 1 million EVs per year by the end of 2025.
  • GM is releasing a series of electric SUVs and plans to launch a new version of the Chevrolet Bolt in 2025.
