Leah Pierce+FollowGM’s EV Drama: It’s Not the Cars, It’s the CancellationsGM says EVs are too expensive, but plot twist: most of their $8.5B loss came from canceling EV projects, not building them. They’re slashing EV production for 2026, even though nearly 100k new customers went electric last year. Meanwhile, gas trucks are raking in profits, and the industry is pivoting to hybrid solutions. Is GM really out on EVs, or just chasing safer money? #Cars #GM #ElectricVehicles83Share
Joshua Andersen+FollowUsed EVs Are the Real Car HackWho knew the cheapest way to own a car is grabbing a 3-year-old electric one? New research says used EVs are now cheaper to own than gas cars—yep, even if you only use public chargers. The magic number is 3 years old: that’s when EVs take a price dive but are still basically new (and often under warranty). Bonus: you’ll save thousands on maintenance and fuel. Time to rethink that used car search! #Cars #BuyingCar #ElectricVehicles00Share
dalemiller+FollowGM’s $7.6B EV Oops—But Investors Love ItGM just took a massive $7.6 billion hit on its electric vehicle dreams, but Wall Street is actually cheering. Why? The company is raking in cash, buying back shares like crazy, and boosting dividends. Even after the EV write-down, GM’s stock soared and it’s now the best-performing major automaker of the year. Looks like slowing down on EVs (for now) is paying off big time for Detroit’s OG car giant. #Cars #GM #ElectricVehicles00Share
Stacie Hernandez+FollowGM Workers Get Smaller Bonus—Here’s WhyGM’s hourly workers are getting a $10,500 bonus this year, down from last year’s record $14,500. What’s up? GM sold more electric cars, but each one cost them money, especially after the government dropped the $7,500 EV tax credit. So, even though you see more EVs on the road, the company’s wallet took a hit—and so did the bonuses. If you’re eyeing a new car, keep an eye on those EV deals—they might get sweeter as GM tries to win you over. #Business #GM #ElectricVehicles00Share
walkerjason+FollowEV Owners Hit With Surprise Road TaxesThought driving electric meant skipping gas taxes? Think again. States are slapping EV owners with new fees—from annual registration surcharges to per-mile tracking and even taxes on charging up. The perks of going electric are fading fast as governments scramble to make up for lost fuel tax revenue. Some drivers are now paying more than their gas-powered neighbors, and the patchwork of rules means your costs can jump just by crossing state lines. Did you see this coming? #Cars #ElectricVehicles #EVTax10Share
fnixon+FollowWould You Buy a Car Like You Buy an iPhone?Volkswagen’s new Scout Motors hasn’t sold a single SUV yet, but it’s already in hot water. Why? Scout wants to sell its retro-inspired electric trucks directly to you—no dealership middleman. Car dealers in Colorado are suing, saying Scout’s vehicles aren’t “real” EVs because they have gas backup. If you’re dreaming of skipping the dealership drama and buying your next ride online, this legal fight could shape how we all shop for cars soon. #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #ElectricVehicles10Share
larsontiffany+FollowEVs Are Literally Cleaning Up the AirDid you know adding just 200 electric cars to a neighborhood can drop air pollution by over 1%? A new USC study tracked neighborhoods across California and found that more EVs = less nitrogen dioxide, which means better heart and lung health for everyone. And get this: places with more gas cars actually saw pollution go up. The takeaway? Switching to electric isn’t just about the planet—it’s already making our air cleaner, right now. #Cars #ElectricVehicles #CleanAir10Share
Leah Pierce+FollowChinese EVs Are About to Shake Up CanadaCanadian car buyers are about to get a taste of affordable, high-quality Chinese electric vehicles, thanks to a new deal slashing tariffs. This move could seriously shake up Detroit automakers, who’ve been slow to offer budget-friendly EVs. With Chinese brands already taking over markets worldwide, U.S. car companies might have to rethink their strategy—or risk losing out big time. Imagine picking up a $25K EV just across the border! This could be the start of a whole new auto rivalry. #Cars #ElectricVehicles #AutoIndustry65Share
James Smith+FollowChinese EVs: Canada’s Next Car Craze?Australia’s car market is being taken over by Chinese EVs—41% of their electric cars are from Chinese brands! Now, Canada could be next. Tons of Chinese automakers are eyeing Canada, but only a few will make the cut due to import limits. If Australia’s any clue, expect a wild mix of new brands and models, but only the best (and best-supported) will stick around. Who’s ready for a BYD or Neta in your driveway? #Cars #ElectricVehicles #Canada10Share
William Goodwin+FollowPlug-in Hybrids’ Dirty Little SecretTurns out, plug-in hybrids aren’t as green as we thought—unless you actually plug them in. GM’s CEO Mary Barra just admitted most drivers skip charging, so these cars end up polluting almost as much as regular gas vehicles. The tech works, but if you treat it like a normal car, the climate benefits vanish. It’s a wake-up call for anyone thinking their plug-in is automatically eco-friendly. Behavior matters more than the badge! #Cars #HybridCars #ElectricVehicles10Share
