The latest battery plant-related investment was just announced today. Honda, as part of its $15B EV investment in Canada, has partnered with Asahi Kasei Corp. to build a battery separator plant in Port Colborne. This will be approximately $1.5B in investment for the area - not as large as the battery plants themselves, but still significant.
A while ago it was rumoured that Winnipeg was in the running to host a EV component plant. It was revealed that this was the plant in question, but they ultimately lost the bid to Port Colborne. Honda, in the coming weeks, is also expected to announce another similar investment in another Ontario municipality. I have heard Lambton County, Essex County, and St. Thomas all being tossed around as potential locations.
