   GM confirms hybrid vehicles are coming to US lineup

   General Motors is planning to add hybrid vehicles to its US lineup, reversing its previous focus on electric vehicles. The move comes as hybrid sales rise and EV demand slows. Hybrids are growing in popularity, with 19% of all US vehicle sales being hybrids in August, according to JD Power. GM's decision is driven by customer demand and a desire to offer more options in the market.

   Why it matters

   GM has largely avoided hybrids this decade, but rising demand and slowing EV sales are pushing it to act. The automaker has a history of killing promising tech, which has raised concerns among some consumers. GM's EV lineup is finding its footing, but the company is now shifting its focus to meet changing customer needs.

   What is confirmed

   • GM plans to launch hybrid vehicles in the US as hybrid sales rise and EV demand slows.
   • Hybrids are growing in popularity, with 19% of all US vehicle sales being hybrids in August.
   • GM's hybrid models are expected to be introduced around 2027-2028.

   Still unconfirmed
