More details to this question:
I am about to get my I-140 (for EB2 filing) approved probably next year and as i understand under the new rule, my wife can apply and get a EAD card that she can use to start working. The question is after she gets the EAD card, if i happen to change job from Company A to Company B, how would that affect the validity of her EAD. I know that i have to start the green card process all over again but would be able to retain my priority date. But under the new rule, i am not sure how the H4 EAD will be affected in that process.

As the H-4 dependent work authorization is new, there does not appear to be a rule that covers the situation that you describe. However, looking at the technical aspects of the filing, your wife would probably be able to satisfy the documentary requirements of an H-4 EAD request.
