Ford and GM Face Financial Headwinds as EV Market Slows
Ford and General Motors confront mounting challenges in 2025 as the automotive industry grapples with softening electric vehicle demand. GM's $1.6 billion strategic realignment charge underscores the sector's growing pains, with $1.2 billion tied to impaired EV assets and $400 million in canceled supplier contracts.
The U.S. EV market slowdown has forced automakers to recalibrate production plans and delay vehicle launches. Regulatory shifts, including reduced emissions standards and new import tariffs, compound the pressure on legacy manufacturers navigating the transition to electrification.
