GM to Build EV at Michigan Plant Instead of Overseas
Written by Sandy Williams
General Motors will build its new electric Chevy at its Orion Township plant in Michigan. The auto manufacturer announced it will invest $300 million at the facility as part of its $1.8 billion investment strategy for the U.S.
The electric vehicle, originally slated for overseas assembly, will add 400 jobs at the plant. CEO Mary Barra said the repatriation of the EV was due to “the rules of origin provisions in the proposed United States, Mexico and Canada Agreement.”
