Summary
General Motors retained the top spot in U.S. auto sales for Q2 but experienced a 4.2% year-over-year decline, with a particularly sharp drop in EV sales. GM attributes the decline to a shrinking EV market and economic uncertainty, while also failing to capitalize on the surge in U.S. hybrid sales, as the automaker has no mainstream hybrids available in the market.
