China's heavy-duty electric trucks deployed 96.7 GWh of battery capacity in 2025—nearly three times passenger EV levels. This means battery supply chains, raw material demand, and energy infrastructure investments are being shaped by logistics operators, not consumer car buyers. The winners in the energy transition are being determined by commercial fleets, not consumer preferences.

General Motors invested heavily in an EV truck that meets technical specs and pricing expectations, yet demand has stalled. Consumers aren't willing to trade brand loyalty and truck culture for efficiency gains alone. The gap between product competence and market adoption suggests that EV transition success depends less on engineering parity than on whether manufacturers can rebuild trust in electrified versions of vehicles that carry deep cultural meaning for their core buyers.
