GM’s third‑quarter vehicle sales fell 5.5%, and the Chevy Equinox electric SUV slumped 92%, leaving shoppers and investors confronting a stark contraction in the automaker’s EV presence. The dip means fewer electric models on showroom floors and heightened market uncertainty for GM shareholders.
Analysts watching the quarter will gauge if the shortfall forces a revision of GM’s 2026 earnings outlook. The next question is whether GM will rebalance its portfolio toward hybrids or new EV offerings.
