Volkswagen to open first North American EV battery plant in St. Thomas, Ont.
Premier Doug Ford, right, meets with Sebastian Wolf, chief operating officer of PowerCo SE, on Feb 23. Batteries at the EV plant planned for St. Thomas, Ont., would be manufactured by PowerCo.
The announcement was released Monday by the office of Vic Fedeli, the province's minister of economic development and trade and is the first public confirmation of the deal that has long rumoured to be in the works. The province recently passed legislation that would allow the City of St Thomas to annex 607 hectares of farmland from the Municipality of Central Elgin with the aim to turn the parcel into industrial lands as part of what the province called an investment "mega-site."
