Abstract

The article discusses General Motors Co.'s potential need to reduce production of gasoline-fueled vehicles if electric vehicle (EV) sales do not meet expectations under new fuel economy requirements set by President Joe Biden. CEO Mary Barra indicated that if EV sales fail to grow and the ambitious standards remain unchanged, GM may have to limit gasoline vehicle sales and possibly shut down production facilities. The article also notes that the White House is expected to propose weaker fuel economy standards, which would replace those established under Biden, and highlights that automakers, including GM, have already reduced EV output due to declining demand.
