Electric vehicle maker Rivian said on Wednesday it cut about 1% of its workforce - the second round of job cut this year - as it reduces cost amid a broader slowdown in EV demand. "This was a difficult decision, but a necessary one to support our goal to be gross margin positive by the end of the year," the maker of R1S SUVs and R1T pickup trucks said in an email to Reuters. Reducing cost is crucial for Rivian as high interest rates to rein in inflation have hurt consumer demand for EVs that are typically more expensive than their gas-powered counterparts.
