General Motors is cutting an unspecified number of white-collar jobs globally, part of its announced efforts to slash costs to remain competitive in the shift to electric vehicles.

“We are looking at all the ways of addressing efficiency and performance,” said Arden Hoffman, the company’s chief people officer, in a message to staff Tuesday. “This week we are taking action with a relatively small number of global executives and classified employees following our most recent performance calibration. They will be departing the company starting from today.” A person familiar with the plans said the job cuts would affect a few hundred employees.

Stellantis, which makes Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles, has indefinitely idled its Belvidere assembly plant as of Tuesday, where it built the Jeep Cherokee compact SUV. The closing plans were announced just before Christmas. It most recently had 1,200 workers on a single shift at the plant.

80% Of all electricity used to charge EV’s comes from coal, natural gas, & nuclear energy plants. The diesel required to operate all the heavy equipment that mines the elements such as cobalt, lithium, copper, & nickel used to manufacture the EV batteries cancels them out.

EVs are a vanity purchase. The future is fuel powered vehicles.
