About

Rivian, an electric vehicle manufacturer, laid off approximately 200 employees in September 2025, representing about 1.5% of its total workforce of nearly 15,000. The layoffs are part of broader industry adjustments as the company prepares for the expiration of federal EV tax credits, specifically the $7,500 incentive set to end under policy changes. This move reflects challenges in the EV market, including slowing demand and reduced government incentives, with other automakers like GM and Volkswagen also implementing job cuts. Rivian is concurrently focusing on launching more affordable models, such as the upcoming R2 SUV, to navigate the evolving economic landscape.
