In 2021, the US automaker reported an aggressive arrangement to embrace an electric future and quit selling all non-electric vehicles by 2035. Nonetheless, store network issues and battery cell creation have deferred their advancement.

EVs represented 9% of all deals through September 2023.
“No matter what claim somebody can make about the long-term ownership cost of a vehicle, if the entry point is $45,000-plus, that’s still steep,” Vince Sheehy, a car dealer in the Washington, D.C. area, previously told Business Insider.
