General Motors spent $20 million lobbying against EV regulations in 2025, contributing to the repeal of federal and state-level emissions and fuel efficiency rules. This despite the company’s stated goal of an all-EV lineup by 2035, indicating a conflict between immediate business interests (profit from gas-powered vehicles) and long-term sustainability commitments. The article explores how this lobbying strategy broke the “ambition loop” for EV transition and warns of U.S. automakers falling behind foreign competitors in the emerging EV market.
