- Wednesday, General Motors announced it has laid off about 1,700 workers at manufacturing sites in Michigan and Ohio, confirming the decision to The Associated Press.
- Following the end of federal incentives, GM said it is realigning EV capacity due to slower near-term EV adoption and the elimination of $7,500 consumer tax credits after September 30.
- Plant-Level cuts include around 1,200 layoffs at Detroit's electric vehicle plant and 550 at Ohio's Ultium Cells battery cell plant, with 850 temporarily laid off at Lordstown and 700 in Tennessee.
- GM said it remains committed to its U.S. manufacturing footprint, while George Goranitis called the layoffs devastating for the community, and Paul Jacobson cited slowing EV demand last week.
- Cox Automotive found EV demand may collapse from October, and GM CEO Mary Barra said `With an evolving regulatory framework and the end of the federal consumer incentives, it's clear that near-term EV adoption will be much lower than planned`.
