""In response to slower near-term EV adoption and an evolving regulatory environment, General Motors is realigning EV capacity," the company said in an emailed statement to Fast Company. "Despite these changes, GM remains committed to our U.S. manufacturing footprint, and we believe our investments and dedication to flexible operations will make GM more resilient and capable of leading through change.""
"Impacted employees may be eligible for supplemental unemployment benefits, known as "SUB pay," including payments to augment state unemployment checks, health insurance, and more, in accordance with the National GM-UAW Agreement, GM said. General Motors will adjust production at its Ohio Ultium Cells plant and will temporarily pause battery cell production at the Spring Hill, Tennessee, and Warren, Ohio, facilities in January 2026, but it anticipates resuming operations by mid-2026."
General Motors will eliminate 1,750 jobs across Michigan and Ohio amid a downturn in U.S. electric-vehicle demand. The cuts include 1,200 workers at a Detroit EV plant and 550 at Ohio's Ultium Cells battery plant. The company is also instituting temporary layoffs for roughly 850 workers in Ohio and 700 in Tennessee. Federal EV tax credits of up to $7,500 expired after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, contributing to expected sales declines. Impacted employees may be eligible for SUB pay, continuation of benefits under the GM-UAW agreement, and some wage support during temporary production pauses through mid-2026.
