General Motors (NYSE:GM) is scaling back production at its key electric vehicle plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee, amid a broader slowdown in the EV sector following changes to federal incentives for green vehicles under President Donald Trump’s administration.
The automaker plans to pause production of two electric Cadillac SUVs—the midsize Lyriq and the larger Vistiq—during December, according to Reuters, citing a person familiar with the matter and internal employee communications reviewed by the media.
The Cadillac Lyriq has been one of GM’s top-selling electric vehicles. Despite its relative success, the company intends to significantly reduce output of both models during the first five months of 2025 by temporarily laying off one of the two work shifts at the Tennessee facility.
This move highlights the broader trend of automakers scaling back electric vehicle initiatives as federal support for green vehicles declines under the current administration.
