There is more bad news for the electric vehicle industry.
CNN reported Monday that automobile giant Ford will lay off about 700 employees responsible for assembling the F-150 Lightning, the electric version of its highly popular pickup truck, at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan, close to its main headquarters.
“We are adjusting the schedule at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center because of multiple constraints, including the supply chain and working through processing and delivering vehicles held for quality checks after restarting production in August,” the company said in a statement.
However, The Wall Street Journal reported last week that it had obtained a memo from a UAW leader expressing concerns about falling demand for Ford's electric pickup.
“It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that our sales for the Lightning have tanked,” the memo said.
