The Ontario government wants to continue to make electric car production in the province rise.
Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade Victor Fedeli says electric cars are the future, so building them locally is important.
Fedeli says there’s also initiatives in place to attract companies that build electric car batteries.
This morning, the Ontario government announced an investment of $250,000 to support the development of two new battery production lines at the Electra Battery Materials Corporation’s future Battery Materials Park near Cobalt. The proposed Battery Materials Park facility could supply more than 1.5 million EVs and employ up to 250 people.
