Part 2/9:
In the United States, traditional automotive giants like GM and Ford have reported remarkable sales increases in EVs and hybrids, marking significant achievements. GM, for instance, more than doubled its EV sales for the year, while Ford's growth has also been impressive. In contrast, Tesla, the pioneer of modern EVs, experienced a slight sales decline of 1% year-over-year. While this may seem minor, it raises eyebrows given Tesla's dominance in the EV space. The sales figures from these automotive titans indicate a growing consumer interest in electric vehicles, but it also emphasizes that existing players are stepping up their games.
