General Motors noted a positive second quarter, as its total vehicle deliveries improved by 0.6% year-over-year to 696,086, while all-electric car deliveries reached a new record. Of the 21,930 electric vehicles delivered in Q2 2024, 20,556, or nearly 94%, were Ultium-based EVs. That's the first time GM has sold a five-digit number of Ultium EVs. Even in Q1 2024, the volume was just 9,385. This is a true sign that the Ultium family of models is finally taking off.
The GMC Hummer EV Pickup and SUV duo noted a record of 2,929 deliveries in Q2. Also, almost 70% of buyers were new to GM. According to GM, the split between the SUV and the Pickup is 60%/40 %. Finally, the BrightDrop van models noted a new record of 490 deliveries . The growth is simply everywhere, aside from the discontinued Bolts. However, despite all the positive outcomes, GM still sold fewer EVs than Ford last quarter.
