GM Plans $4 Billion US Investment for Gas,Evs in Michigan,Kansas,Tennessee

General Motors announced a $4 billion investment over the next two years to expand production at three U.S. plants in Michigan, Kansas, and Tennessee, focusing on both gas-powered and electric vehicles. The Orion Assembly plant in Michigan will start producing gas-powered full-size SUVs and light-duty pickup trucks in early 2027, shifting away from its previously planned electric truck production. The Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas will begin producing the gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox by mid-2027 while continuing to produce the all-electric Chevrolet Bolt by the end of this year, with further investments planned for next-generation affordable EVs. Tennessee's Spring Hill plant will add production of the gas-powered Chevy Blazer alongside electric Cadillac models. GM's shift reflects the current market demand for gas vehicles, challenging its earlier plan to end gas-powered vehicle production by 2035, a move supported by President Donald Trump's administration, which is easing emissions regulations and encouraging domestic manufacturing. This investment is expected to boost U.S. auto industry jobs and production capacity, allowing GM to assemble over two million vehicles annually across its U.S. facilities.
