BMW Group moved more electric units in 2025 than any year prior, a milestone that says more about market saturation than product excellence. The i4 remains the efficiency play for sedan buyers, though it's still fighting the perception that it's what happens when a traditional automaker checks an EV box rather than reimagines one.

General Motors just took a $6 billion hit after canceling contracts and scaling back its domestic EV roadmap—a stark reminder that the EV pivot isn't working out like the press releases promised. This isn't accounting fiction; it's real money spent on tooling, supplier commitments, and platforms that won't see production. The bean counters finally caught up with the hype.

General Motors took a massive charge as EV tax credit uncertainty and changing federal policy made their electrification roadmap obsolete faster than it was written. Meanwhile, China's tightening battery oversight and Brussels Motor Show reveals suggest the real competition isn't about horsepower anymore—it's about who can survive the regulatory gauntlet.
