Stellantis says it has stopped construction on a portion of an electric vehicle (EV) battery plant in Windsor, Ont., because the federal government has not delivered on what was promised.
The automaker — which makes Chrysler, Ram and Fiat cars among others — and South Korean battery-maker LG Energy Solution announced the $5-billion plant last year and said it was expected to create 2,500 jobs.
On Friday, Stellantis said it would move to “contingency plans” should Ottawa not fulfil its negotiation commitments.
