As the auto industry continues its shift towards battery electrics, some automakers have the immense challenge of convincing dealerships their future product plans will appeal to longtime customers. Cadillac is the perfect example. Out of 880 US dealers, around 150 chose to take General Motor's buyout offer rather than investing over $200,000 in infrastructure upgrades to accommodate EVs, the 2022 Cadillac Lyriq being the first of many. GMC dealers, however, are not being offered a similar buyout plan. Roughly half of America's 1,900 GMC stores have reportedly agreed to invest around $140,000 each in order to sell the 2022 Hummer EV, according to the Detroit Free Press.
