GM’s U.S. plants to build over 2 million vehicles annually

General Motors has announced a new round of investments totaling approximately $4 billion over the next two years to expand its domestic manufacturing operations. The investments will increase the company’s production capacity in the United States to over two million vehicles annually, encompassing both internal combustion and electric vehicles.

A portion of this investment will support the continued development and production of electric vehicles across several GM plants. The company confirmed that Factory Zero in Detroit-Hamtramck, Michigan, will serve as the dedicated production site for all-electric models, including the Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, Cadillac Escalade IQ, and the GMC Hummer EV in both pickup and SUV formats. This is in response to the decision to begin gas-powered SUV and light-duty pickup production at the Orion Assembly plant in early 2027.

GM also provided updates regarding the Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City, Kansas. While the plant will begin producing the gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox in mid-2027, it is also scheduled to start production of the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV by the end of 2025. GM stated it plans to make future investments in Fairfax to support a new generation of affordable electric vehicles.

At the Spring Hill Manufacturing plant in Tennessee, GM will expand production to include the gas-powered Chevrolet Blazer beginning in 2027. The facility will also continue manufacturing several electric models, including the Cadillac Lyriq and the upcoming Cadillac Vistiq, alongside the Cadillac XT5.

In addition to the $4 billion announcement, GM recently revealed an $888 million investment in its Tonawanda Propulsion plant in New York to support its next-generation V-8 engine. These plans are part of GM’s broader manufacturing strategy across 50 U.S. facilities in 19 states, including 11 dedicated assembly plants.

GM remains the second-largest seller of electric vehicles in the U.S. as of the second half of 2024, with a portfolio of 13 EV models under the Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC brands. The company also reports that Chevrolet is currently the fastest-growing EV brand and ranks second overall in U.S. EV sales.

The automaker’s capital spending guidance for 2025 remains between $10 billion and $11 billion. GM projects that its annual capital expenditures will range from $10 billion to $12 billion through 2027, which reflects continued domestic investment and support for key vehicle programs, including EVs.
