The plant idled in January after the $7,500 federal EV tax credit expired, causing sales to collapse before partially recovering (US EV sales up 14.2% quarter over quarter but still 20.5% below last year). Despite the restart, GM continues to pull back from EVs overall: its Tennessee plant is now focused on energy storage rather than car batteries, Samsung SDI bought out GM's stake in their Indiana joint venture and repurposed that plant for energy storage, and GM's own EV sales fell 4% amid an estimated $11bn retreat from electric vehicles. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
