Justin Trudeau and Doug Ford must boost subsidies for Stellantis amid fears auto giant will pull out of Windsor EV battery plant: sources
Ottawa is being forced to renegotiate with Stellantis amid fears the automaker will scrap a new battery plant unless the federal and provincial governments match hefty subsidies given to Volkswagen, the Star has learned.
Industry sources warn that Stellantis — the parent company of Chrysler, Jeep and Fiat — could pull the plug on its 2022 agreement to build a massive electric-vehicle battery factory in Windsor if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Doug Ford don’t sweeten the deal to the level VW received in St. Thomas.
Good work Frankie Champagne!
