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.

While everyone watches KTM and Triumph, Bajaj's quietly shipping millions of motorcycles globally—turning volume into the kind of engineering discipline that makes sense on a balance sheet. The real story isn't splashy; it's foundational engineering scaled across markets that actually want affordable, reliable two-wheelers.
