General Motors will start building battery modules and packs in a new section of its CAMI Assembly Plant in Ingersoll, Ont. by the middle of 2024.
The automaker disclosed plans for a 400,000 square-foot expansion July 25 that will clear the way for battery component production at the site midway between Toronto and Windsor, Ont.
