General Motors shares climbed 7% to $52.33 after reporting a doubling of electric vehicle sales in Q2 2025, solidifying its position as the second-largest EV player in the U.S. market behind Tesla. The automaker delivered 46,300 EVs last quarter, up from 21,900 units in the same period last year, with CFO Paul Jacobson highlighting a 12-model portfolio across Chevrolet and Cadillac brands.
