Subaru Has No Plans To Build EVs In The US, Can’t Match McDonalds Wages via insideevs.com
In Indiana, part-time workers at McDonald’s earn $20 to $25 per hour, which is in competition with what temporary workers make at our plant
If we were to build a new plant, it would be very difficult to hire new people for that. Labor costs are rising now. It is quite challenging for us to secure workers for our Indiana plant, including those of suppliers. The Subaru boss acknowledged the risk that this may have negative consequences on sales numbers, especially since the demand for EVs has been going up in the US. However, he said he is confident that won’t happen in the near future, pointing to the 631,000 vehicles that it expects to sell by the end of the fiscal year, about a 25 percent increase over 2021.
However, Subaru may still reevaluate a US plant in the future given that inflation is high and analysts are talking about a possible economic downturn. In regard to this, Nakamura said that Basically, we think there will be strong demand for our cars. But our U.S. retailers told me they feel there could be a recession, so we will be watching the situation closely.
