  + stars: | 2023-10-23 | by ( Daniel Leussink | Thomson Reuters | Daniel Leussink Is A Correspondent In Japan. Most Recently | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
Toyota Motor Corporation's cars are seen at a briefing on the company's strategies on battery EVs in Tokyo, Japan December 14, 2021. The Japan Mobility Show, which opens on Thursday, comes at a critical moment for the domestic industry. Toyota (7203.T), the world's top-selling automaker, this year announced a strategic pivot to battery EVs, including plans to commercialise advanced batteries and adopt die-casting technology pioneered by Tesla (TSLA.O). Toyota's shift has helped silence criticism that it was too slow to embrace battery EVs. In contrast to the darkening outlook in Japan, data from the ASEAN Automotive Federation shows that the auto market in Southeast Asia has been growing.

☆ Trump is attacking electric vehicles. Automakers already bet their future on them
  + stars: | 2023-09-28 | by ( Nathaniel Meyersohn | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
Legacy automakers are pivoting to electric vehicles in response to expected strong consumer demand, tougher environmental regulations both from US states and foreign countries, and a push from Wall Street. Electric vehicles have outpaced growth of traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) cars in recent years. But automakers bucked Trump and agreed to meet tougher standards set by California rather than the Trump administration’s rules. At a Detroit battery plant Wednesday, Trump said America didn’t need what the factory produced“This plant, we just walked through this plant and the electric vehicles are gonna put [automakers] out of business,” Trump said. Trump’s proposals could undermine US companies’ EV investments and hand over control of an increasingly EV future to foreign manufacturers.

☆ EV maker Rivian to cut 6% of jobs amid price war
  + stars: | 2023-02-01 | by ( ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
Reuters —Rivian Automotive is laying off 6% of its workforce in an effort to cut costs as the EV maker, already grappling with falling cash reserves and a weak economy, braces for an industry-wide price war. The company is focusing resources on ramping up vehicle production and reaching profitability, Chief Executive R.J. Scaringe said in an email to employees on Wednesday announcing the job cuts. Layoffs at Rivian come amid falling EV prices kicked off by cuts made recently by Elon Musk-led Tesla (TSLA) and Ford Motor Co. To further conserve its cash, Rivian late last year shelved plans to build delivery vans in Europe with Mercedes. Its cash and cash equivalents stood at $13.27 billion as of Sept. 30, 2022, down from over $18 billion a year earlier.

The company is focusing resources on ramping up vehicle production and reaching profitability, Chief Executive R.J. Scaringe said in an email to employees on Wednesday announcing the job cuts. Layoffs at Rivian come amid falling EV prices kicked off by cuts made recently by Elon Musk-led Tesla (TSLA.O) and Ford Motor Co (F.N). The price cuts by Tesla and Ford are expected to hurt EV upstarts such as Rivian, Lucid Group (LCID.O) and British startup Arrival , which Monday said it would lay off half its staff. To further conserve its cash, Rivian late last year shelved plans to build delivery vans in Europe with Mercedes (MBGn.DE). As of Sept. 30, 2022, the automaker reported having $13.27 billion in cash and cash equivalents, down from over $18 billion a year earlier.
