Stellantis to idle Illinois plant, lay off more than 1,000 workers, citing rising costs for EVs | CNN Business

“Our industry has been adversely affected by a multitude of factors like the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the global microchip shortage, but the most impactful challenge is the increasing cost related to the electrification of the automotive market,” Stellantis said in a statement. The company said it is taking steps “stabilize production” and “improve efficiency” in its North American facilities.

The group’s president Ray Curry said it is “unacceptable” Stellantis isn’t allocating new products to the plant. The Illinois plant builds the Jeep Cherokee and will continue to manufacture the vehicle until the factory closes, but the company had no comment about the future of that make and model. “This is an important vehicle in the lineup, and we remain committed long term to this mid-size SUV segment,” Jodi Tinson, a Stellantis spokesperson, said in a statement.

Blame the absurd push to electric vehicles, not Stelantis.

Question, when are we going to audit all of these green start ups? How much money in grant subsidies did Stellantis receive?

Whoops.

It's fake. Fake news.

Unfortunately layoffs will need to happen in order to reduce inflation. Part of the equation
