The EV batttery plant being built in Windsor, Ont. they brought in over 900 South Korean workers to build the plant, something the government forgot to mention till people noticed the influx of Asian workers. I guess Canadian worjers were to stupid to build an EV plant. The CAW was not happy.
While Canada has invested nearly 60 billion to companies to make battery plants, they're not even close to starting up, and one of the companies we gave billions to, NorthVolt, has declared bankruptcy. I don't even think we make any EV batteries.
I can't find anything on this and I'm certain it would be big news. I'd love for it to be true, but not expecting that to be the case. The majority of their batteries are made in Nevada.
Well, Tesla tried to score rebates from the Canadian government for more cars than they could have actually sold in one three-day weekend (something like 1 car a second or minute, including Sunday when the dealerships are closed).
