By Cassandra Garber, Chief Sustainability Officer

GM offers an encompassing portfolio of electric vehicles. But our electrification work goes far beyond beautifully designed EVs.

As America’s largest automaker, we’re using years of investment in batteries, software and manufacturing to build not just great EVs, but an energy ecosystem that can support homes, businesses, and the grid.

Recent updates show we’re continuing to create sustainable solutions and pursue our zero-emissions vision in ways that benefit customers and communities while helping reduce climate-related risk for our business.

Climate-related disclosures report

Today we released our annual report on GM’s climate risks, opportunities, and progress. Highlights include:

• Since 2018, Scope 1 and 2 emissions from our operations fell by 52% while revenue rose 26%, showing that sustainability and revenue growth can go hand in hand.
• We matched 100% of electricity use across our U.S. facilities in 2025 with renewable energy, becoming the first U.S. automaker to reach that goal. Globally, we reached 70%.
• In 2025, GM was the No. 2 seller of electric vehicles in the United States, with sales up 48% year over year, and No. 1 in Canada.
• We've sold nearly a quarter-million vehicles in the U.S. equipped with bidirectional charging technology, allowing them to become a residential power resource capable of sustaining a properly equipped home for days during localized grid outages. Every new EV we sell going forward has this capability.
• More than 200 Tier 1 suppliers have joined Transform: Auto, an industry group GM helped create to expand renewable electricity across the automotive value chain.

Progress in reducing vehicle usage emissions has been slower than expected, as market dynamics and policy conditions have shifted. We’re staying nimble and continuing to reevaluate our path toward our zero emissions vision.

We’re continuing to invest in the technologies, infrastructure, and partnerships that matter for the long term – deepening our engagement with automotive suppliers, innovating to make EVs even more appealing, and developing innovative energy solutions.

GMC HUMMER X concepts

At the opening of GM's Advanced Design Pasadena Studio last month, we unveiled the GMC HUMMER X truck and SUV concepts. HUMMER X is a design exercise not intended for production. But it’s helping us imagine what might be possible when bold design, advanced engineering, and customer experience come together. It points forward, but it's rooted in work GM is already doing today across circularity, remanufacturing, battery innovation, and sustainable materials.

GM Empower

At our GM Empower event on June 9, we showed how we're using GM’s scale and ambition to lay the foundation for an energy ecosystem wherein EVs, batteries, and power grids can work together to help make the electrical grid more reliable and affordable.

• We shared progress on vehicle-to-grid technology with Pacific Gas and Electric Company and DTE Energy, and invited utility companies across the country to collaborate on this technology's potential to improve energy resilience.
• We launched Energy Pass to make public charging sessions easier to initiate and pay for.
• We announced work with Peak Energy on next-generation sodium-ion battery cells for grid-scale stationary storage, and we expanded our work with Redwood Materials on using second-life EV batteries for energy storage.

As all this work reminds us, electrification is bigger than any one GM product or program. It’s about looking ahead and building sustainable solutions that can help support customers, reduce emissions, and strengthen the grid for everyone.
