Earlier this month, EH Automotive was proud to help sponsor the 8th Annual United Way African-American Partnership (AAP) Leadership Luncheon! Two decades ago, Dr. Johnetta B. Cole, Conchita W. Robinson, and Charles Stephens came together with a shared vision to assemble African-American leaders dedicated to making a positive impact on the Greater Atlanta community. Today, that vision continues to thrive through the African-American Partnership (AAP) at United Way of Greater Atlanta.

The 8th Annual AAP Leadership Luncheon, held at The Delta Flight Museum on February 17th, provides an opportunity to delve into the challenges faced by attendees and their peers in the Greater Atlanta community. Those in attendance were able to discover the proactive steps AAP is taking to address these issues head-on, as well as take the initiative to get involved in AAP and be a catalyst for positive change. Award-winning actor, poet, musician, and spoken word artist Omari Hardwick was the featured guest for the evening, engaging with meaningful conversation on the topics at hand. 

AAP is dedicated to investing in high-quality, year-round learning initiatives aimed at enhancing educational and career outcomes, aligning with their Child Well-Being Agenda. In addition to its focus on educational initiatives, AAP actively involves its members in volunteerism and advocacy, providing continuous opportunities for personal and professional development.

If you’re looking to upgrade into a new Cadillac this year, you may be shopping at just the right time. Cox Automotive anticipates a return to normalcy in the American auto market in 2024, marking the “best year for car buyers since the pandemic,” according to its Forecast: 2024 report. The forecast projects stability across various auto market metrics, signaling a shift from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market.

Key factors contributing to this normalization include a significant increase in production levels, with an estimated three million vehicles expected on dealership lots compared to the chip shortage period’s one million. You may have begun to notice this change already, with more inventory available on our lot than in the previous years. Overall sales are predicted to grow by approximately 2 percent, reaching 15.6 million vehicles in 2024.

The improved inventory is anticipated to help control prices, keeping incentives and discounts at elevated levels. Used vehicle sales are expected to outpace new vehicle sales by a ratio of two to one, reaching a forecast of 36.2 million for 2024. While certified pre-owned vehicle supply is limited, sales are projected to increase by 3 percent year-over-year to 2.7 million.

Cox analysts foresee continued growth in the electric vehicle (EV) market, dubbing 2024 as the “Year of More” – more models, incentives, discounting, advertising, and sales muscle. The EV and hybrid market is predicted to represent about 24 percent of the auto market, with EV leasing on the rise and a rapidly growing used electric vehicle market.

Despite slow wage growth, higher interest rates, and a weakening labor market, all economic indicators point towards more affordable vehicles for consumers. The forecast brings a sense of stability, replacing the chaotic fluctuations and constrained availability experienced in the past four years.

While the outlook is cautiously optimistic, Jonathan Smoke, Chief Economist at Cox, emphasizes that the auto industry has faced unprecedented chaos in recent years, making it challenging to predict future developments. Despite the uncertainties, the forecast signals a positive shift in the auto market landscape for 2024.

GM has been putting in the work to build a more sustainable future – and it shows. This month, GM was named to the Fortune “Change the World” list that consists of major profitable companies with a focus on greenhouse gas reduction. “The American Electrifiers”, a group Fortune coined thanks to their efforts toward converting the U.S. extensive passenger and commercial vehicle fleet to EVs, includes GM, charging network company ChargePoint, EV battery supplier SK On Co., and Tesla.

“The American Electrifiers” placed first in the “Change the World” list above second-place MercadoLibre and third-place Walmart. While Tesla is credited with the breakthrough company that allowed other EVs to grow in the market, the torch may be passed to GM with their EV lineup offering twice the number of Tesla models. GM EVs include pickup trucks, SUVs, as well as crossover sedans that produce relatively affordable all-electric nameplates, such as the all-new Blazer EV. 

Thanks to future EV plans, GM also won a place at the head of the “Change the World” list by fully developing its Ultium battery platform and highly scalable BEV3 platform. With plans to launch nearly 30 EV vehicles worldwide by 2025, GM’s mission is to slowly transition into an all-electric lineup by 2035. They’ve also made an agreement with Tesla to allow GM drivers access to the Tesla Supercharger network starting in 2024 – giving more access to EV owners around the country.
