GM Cuts About 3,300 Jobs at U.S. EV Plants

General Motors announced cuts of about 3,300 jobs across Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee, including roughly 1,200 permanent layoffs at its all‑electric Factory ZERO plant in Detroit and 550 permanent cuts at an Ultium Cells battery plant in Ohio. The company said about 850 temporary layoffs will occur in Ohio and roughly 700 temporary furloughs will occur in Tennessee. Ultium Cells said production at its Spring Hill, Tenn., cell plant will be paused from January 2026 through mid‑year, furloughing about 700 workers, and a similar temporary pause is planned at Warren, Ohio. GM attributed the reductions to slower near‑term EV adoption and the elimination of the federal $7,500 EV tax credit, and said it is realigning EV capacity to reduce losses. The United Auto Workers criticized the cuts while GM said it remains committed to its U.S. manufacturing footprint and flexible operations.
