As part of General Motors' pullback on the EV market, Buick's first electric vehicle won't be coming to the U.S. in 2026 as expected. GM CEO Mary Barra, speaking to analysts about second quarter results, offered an overview of what's ahead in the U.S. and China. Speaking about Buick, she said, ' also made adjustments to ensure we have a balanced approach as the market develops, this includes deferring Buick's first EV, which had been planned for 2024.
It's not clear when a Buick EV will get the go-ahead, and the sliding schedule of additional EV pickup production is also an open question. For now, Factory Zero will be able to make enough of the electric Silverado and Sierra. As automakers figure out the next couple of years, GM's still got new product on the way, though ? most importantly, another big entry at the vital entry-level end.
