General Motors Company (GM) is actively lobbying lawmakers to repeal California's stringent zero-emission vehicle mandate, marking a significant shift in the company's stance as U.S. electric vehicle demand begins to decline. In a communication to employees, GM expressed concerns that emissions standards misaligned with market realities threaten consumer choice and vehicle affordability. Previously a supporter of California's plans to ban gas-powered vehicle sales by 2035, GM is now urging a halt to stricter emissions rules, reflecting a broader trend among automakers, including Ford, to scale back electric vehicle initiatives due to disappointing sales figures and potential policy changes.
