Electrek reports that GM has idled its Detroit EV plant Factory Zero for the second time in under three months, temporarily laying off 1,300 workers until production restarts April 13 2026, after earlier cutting 1,200 jobs there. A GM spokesman calls it a temporary adjustment to align EV production with market demand, while Electrek argues GM bet the plant on six-figure EVs like the Hummer and Escalade IQ instead of volume sellers.
