According to Sawyer Merritt, GM sold 25,219 electric vehicles in the US during Q4 2025, marking a 43% year-over-year decline, while total annual EV sales reached 169,764 units, up 48% from the previous year. This mixed performance highlights the growing importance of AI-driven analytics and demand forecasting in automaker strategies. Models like the Escalade IQ and BrightDrop Van saw significant growth, reflecting opportunities for AI-powered supply chain optimization and predictive maintenance solutions in these segments. For models experiencing declines, manufacturers are increasingly adopting AI to analyze shifting consumer preferences and improve product-market fit. The data underscores a trend where AI integration in automotive manufacturing, sales forecasting, and customer engagement is becoming essential for competitive advantage and operational efficiency.
